Celebration of Excellence Awards

Island Health’s internal awards program—the Celebration of Excellence Awards—shines a light on individuals and teams who go above and beyond in their pursuit of excellence.

By honouring those whose actions reflect Island Health’s values, the awards ignite inspiration and help foster a culture of greatness and continuous improvement
across our organization. 

 

Who Can Participate?

Awards are open to all employees, teams, volunteers, medical staff, ​and auxiliary members working within Island Health. Anyone at Island Health can nominate an individual or team.

Excellence takes many forms—sometim​​es bold and visible, sometimes quiet and unexpected—no matter the role, program, or location, going above and beyond can be recognized.

 

What Is The Process?

  • Two nominators must support each nomination.
  • The nominee’s manager will receive a copy of the completed nomination and will be asked to indicate whether they support it.
  • The Awards Committee will review supported nominations. Both nominators and the manager will be notified if successful.
  • Nominations can be submitted throughout the year. Nominations are reviewed quarterly.

Submission D​eadlines: March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31.
