We are excited to share that nominations for our oneVCH Awards are now open. The Awards, formerly known as our People First Awards, celebrate exceptional Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) staff, medical staff, volunteers and teams that go above and beyond to make a meaningful impact every day, inspire others to excel and make VCH a great place to work.
- We encourage you to submit nominations for individuals and teams, and encourage your colleagues to do so as well (no later than June 30). It only takes 5 minutes to nominate someone and make their day! Access the printable poster here.
Nominate early (by June 15) and be entered to win one of our VCH prize packs. The program is inclusive so anyone can nominate or be nominated – clinical and corporate staff, medical staff, volunteers and leaders.
