Four 2018 Gerontological Excellence Award recipients celebrated at NHH
At the latest staff forum held Wednesday, September 26th, the winners of the hospital’s sixth annual Gerontological Excellence Awards were announced.
A celebration of individual contributions to the delivery of exceptional patient care to those over the age of 65, the Award underscores the fact that gerontology is not a department or a unit at NHH, it is a specialty that involves every member of the hospital team.
Nominations for the Gerontological Excellence Award are open to all staff members and accepted throughout the month of June, which Ontario has designated as Seniors’ Month. Of the 2018 nominees, four stood out for the care they take to support older patients at NHH.
