The health system took time to celebrate health professionals for career milestones, as well as innovation and dedication in the world of healthcare.
Four project teams were given the Quality Improvement Awards: Navify Pathology Lab Advantage, Computrition, Hospital-to-Home, and the new Automated Dispensing Units.
Neurologist Dr. Gordon Bryan Young was given the Physician Award in recognition of his career, while respirologist Dr. Marcus Newton received the first-ever Research Award.
