About Ralston Awards

Ralston Awards are one way in which we foster our mission by encouraging and rewarding the development, hard work and contributions of those who care for people as they age.

Ralston Center offered their first awards in 2004 to recognize the hard work and dedication of Certified Nursing Assistants for caregiver excellence and graduate nursing students for academic and clinical excellence in gerontology. We are adding the Sarah Ralston Age-friendly award in 2017 to recognize leadership in creating a more livable community for the elderly in West Philadelphia.
