A Kent NHS trust is to be honoured by the towns in which it is based.
Medway NHS Foundation Trust is to be granted the Freedom of the Borough of Medway at a ceremony in early 2024.
The honour is being conferred "in recognition of the contribution of the staff of Medway Maritime Hospital to the community", Medway Council said.
The recommendation also cited "express admiration at the workforce's contribution to the National Health Service".
The honorary freedom of the borough is the highest civic distinction that can be conferred upon individuals or collective bodies in recognition of outstanding service.
Jayne Black, chief executive of Medway NHS Foundation Trust, said: "It is great honour for us to have been recognised in such a unique way, particularly as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the NHS this year.
"I would like to thank all colleagues working here at the trust for their continued support in providing the best of care to the people of Medway and Swale."
