July 21, 2025- greeNest, an innovative organization dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families through safe and stable home environments, has been named the 2025 recipient of the Premier Cares Award and will receive a $100,000 cash prize from Premier, Inc.
Sponsored by Premier and its alliance of more than 4,350 hospitals and health systems and approximately 300,000 other providers and organizations, the Premier Cares Award recognizes standalone community agencies and health organizations that are improving the lives of the medically underserved.
Founded with the mission of “transforming our community one nest at a time,” greeNest operates the Up Off the Floor (UOF) program, which provides beds and portable cribs free of charge for children who don’t have a bed of their own. In Forsyth County, North Carolina, where 20 percent of children under 18 experience poverty, greeNest is helping address critical health, educational and emotional challenges linked to inadequate sleep and unstable living conditions.
