Registered Nurses, Physiotherapist and Ward Clerk recognized with Gerontological Excellence Awards
Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) recognizes staff members throughout the year for both personal and team accomplishments. At the latest staff forum held Wednesday, October 4th, the winners of the hospital’s fifth annual Gerontological Excellence Awards were announced.
A celebration of individual contributions to the delivery of exceptional patient care for 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.
As such, nominations for the Gerontological Excellence Award are open to all staff members. Again this year, nominations were accepted throughout the month June, which Ontario has designated as Seniors’ Month. Of the 2017 nominees, four stood out for the care they take to support NHH’s older patients in their care.
Recognized with 2017 Gerontological Excellence Awards are: Marie-Rose Meunier-Wescott, Registered Nurse, Restorative Care; Cathy Rylott, Physiotherapist, Inpatient Rehabilitation; Danielle Kohlman, Registered Nurse, Emergency Department; and, Cindy Roffey, Ward Clerk, Restorative Care.
