MHCA is gearing up for one of its most popular programs, the Remember ME photography exhibit. Join us again in recognizing some of our wonderful and inspirational long-term care residents. Please be sure to submit your nomination online by January 23, 2024.
 
To nominate your resident or view the submission guidance, please go to the following link, which will take you to the online nomination form.
   
This photographic tribute is our way of remembering resident contributions and saying thank you. We are looking for pioneering, innovative residents who meet any of the following criteria:
 

• Residents with historically significant backgrounds;
• Residents who have had unique or interesting accomplishments either while living in the facility or prior to admission;
• Residents who have overcome either personal or health-related obstacles to achieve;
• Residents who have served the community, state, or country (through volunteerism, civic organizations or US military); OR
• Residents who are considered pillars of the local community.                           

When considering a candidate, please be sure the resident is willing to be photographed by our professional vendors if he or she is selected. We strongly encourage submissions to be thoughtful, using the 750 word limit to relay the resident's story. In the past, submissions that are very short or in a bullet format are rarely selected by the judges, as they don't relay enough information.
 
The exhibit will once again feature black and white photographs, accompanied by brief biographies, of residents living in your facilities. The presentation of Certificates of Lifetime Achievement will be on May 9, 2024 at the Augusta Civic Center. We are planning to have the event live streamed.
