There are thousands of healthcare successes every day.
The Excellence in BC Healthcare Awards were created in 2007 to celebrate these successes and to thank those who are often too busy to stop and take in what they have accomplished.
A wide array of people play vital roles in delivering health services in BC. Some of them you meet face-to-face in your community but many more work behind the scenes. All play an important role in delivering quality healthcare.
Presented by the Health Employers Association of BC (HEABC), the Excellence in BC Healthcare Awards recognize the efforts of healthcare employees who provide quality care and support to the people of this province and acknowledge excellence and innovation in publicly funded healthcare.
HEABC coordinates the human resource and labour relations interests of over 275 publicly funded healthcare employers in British Columbia and represents denominational, proprietary, and affiliate health employers, as well as the province’s six health authorities.
Excellence in BC Healthcare Awards are given out in the following categories:
