The GEM program encourages our volunteers to track the hours they dedicate throughout the year so we can recognize them at the end of each year with fun prizes and other forms of appreciation. Prizes include social media frames, honorable mention in our newsletter, on our website or in social media, a thank you voucher for a gift of your choice from our HCMA online store (the value of this voucher goes up with each GEM Award level) and more!
