Congratulations to the recipients of this year’s President’s Excellence Awards!
Selected from a record 138 nominations, these 21 award recipients demonstrate the highest standards in innovation, collaboration and patient-centred care.

Thank you to everyone who made a nomination. You can learn more about the President’s Excellence Awards categories below. Award recipients will receive a certificate of acknowledgement, a pin and celebratory luncheon with the President and CEO and senior leaders.
Paramedic Fred Stegmeier is always the first to be there to support staff. Long before we had awareness of the psychological toll of the profession, Fred knew people needed an ear, a cup of coffee and often a hug. To this day, Fred never hesitates to drop what he is doing and support staff in times of need. Fred will retire in March 2018 after 38 years of service. Thank you, Fred, and congratulations on your Lifetime Achievement award.
