From Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare
Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) recognized the recipients of the 18th annual Board Award of Excellence at an awards ceremony this week.
The Board of Directors presents the peer-nominated award annually to nominees who best exemplify MAHC’s values and meet criteria such as significant achievements in patient- and family-centred care, outstanding management of people, financial or material resources, successfully completing a major project or special assignment beyond what is normally expected, and/or demonstrating an extraordinary commitment to patient safety.
“These awards are not just about excellence in medicine or operations, and they are more than just a recognition of individual achievements,” says Dave Uffelmann, Chair of the Board of Directors. “They are about leadership, compassion, innovation, and the many, many quiet, consistent acts of service that often go unseen but never go unfelt. They are a celebration of our team’s collective commitment to care and healing, to innovation, and the communities we serve. Congratulations to both the nominees and this year’s recipients.”
