Rev. Dr. Grant Harrity Award for Exemplary Service to the Aging Award

The Harrity Award is presented to individuals whose leadership, service, and commitment advance the aging services field. We are honored to recognize these individuals who advocate for and effect positive change in the lives of older adults and their caregivers.

The 2023 Harrity Award Winner is Truist Bank.

Truist has shown a deep commitment to the future of senior care. Whether helping Baby Boomers plan for retirement or helping organizations like Phoebe strategically plan for growth in a changing healthcare landscape, we know our industry is one of their top priorities. This commitment was demonstrated during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when Truist joined forces with organizations that provide the elderly with food services, medical supplies, and other critical services. Phoebe is grateful for Truist’s ongoing support of our Un-Gala to support the Phoebe Institute on Aging’s educational programs for senior caregivers.
