The Espanola Regional Hospital and Health Centre presented awards to staff for their contributions to health care for the first time in three years.
Publicist Terri Noble says the hospital has not been able to host the awards over the last three years due to the pandemic, but Wednesday was a special day to acknowledge those efforts.
She adds that 12 recipients were presented with the Rock the Walk – Patient First Awards.
She says the awards were even more special since the nominations came from their peers acknowledging individual, leadership and team contributions.
The Individual award was presented to Trista Rajotte, the leadership award to Phil Smith and the team award to the Espanola Nursing Home staff.
