Welcome to the 17th Annual Hats On For Healthcare! As hospital staff, you see firsthand how community support transforms patient care. By registering a team, you lead by example—showing our community that we don't just work here; we believe in our mission enough to invest in it ourselves. Your participation helps bridge the gap between government funding and the outsanding care we strive to provide, funding the specialized equipment and innovative programs that help our colleagues be their best for every patient.
Here is everything you need to know to get started:
How to Get Your Unit Involved
- Register Your Team: Register on the main page to start a new team or join a returning one.
- Pick Your Program: This year, you get to decide! Choose from 40 different hospital programs (like Cardiology, Oncology, or Mental Health) to receive 100% of the funds your team raises.
- Mark the Date: Official Hat Day is March 11, 2026.
