There are thousands of health care successes every day.
The Excellence in BC Health Care Awards were created in 2007 to celebrate these successes and to thank those who are often too busy to stop and appreciate their accomplishments.
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 health care.
Presented by the Health Employers Association of BC (HEABC), the Excellence in BC Health Care Awards recognize the efforts of health care employees who provide quality care and support to the people of this province and acknowledge excellence and innovation in publicly funded health care.
HEABC coordinates the human resource and labour relations interests of more than 270 publicly funded health care employers in British Columbia and represents denominational, proprietary and affiliate health employers, as well as the province’s six health authorities.
Excellence in BC Health Care Awards are given out in the following categories:
