Here's how it works:
This month, each time you submit a quality survey of brands you know and use on the HundredX™ platform, $1.60 goes towards supporting the Blue Star Brigade! It only takes 60-90 seconds to complete a survey and you get to choose the brands! You can create up to $120 (by completing 75 surveys) to support our mission!
ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST BE 18+

Tips for Submitting Quality Surveys:
- Don’t rush through! Take your time reading each question and emoji label carefully.
- Be Honest. We want to know what you genuinely think about the brands you have interacted with in the last 6 months.
- Pace Yourself. We recommend doing 5-10 surveys a day.
- Donate 5-10 minutes of your digital time a day for 7 days this month to make a HUGE impact.

Join us in celebrating Jennifer Albritton, Cardiac Catheterization Lab director, as our facility’s nominee for HCA Healthcare’s Frist Humanitarian Award!

Established in 1971 and named in honor of Dr. Thomas F. Frist Sr., a co-founder of HCA Healthcare, this award recognizes colleagues whose compassion, service and dedication reflect the highest standards of care for others.

Jennifer leads the same way she serves — with steadiness, compassion and a deep commitment to people. As a long-time and well-loved member of the Highlands family, she represents the values this award is meant to honor.
