A Celebration of Healthcare Providers
The Patients’ Choice Awards is a celebration of physicians who exemplify a commitment to providing care that reflects patient priorities, values and preferences. It recognizes physicians that go the extra mile for their patients. The value of strong patient-provider relationships is at the core of this initiative.
For this award, patients nominate their family doctor or a specialist and outline why that doctor should be the recipient of the award. Another panel of patients determine the winners based on these patient stories.
Over the years, Patients Canada, with support from the Ontario Medical Association, has publicly acknowledged more than 30 physicians in diverse communities across Ontario.
Attention all patients in the Niagara Region!
The 2019 Niagara Patients’ Choice Awards will be taking place in the Niagara region on May 1st, 2019. If you feel like your family doctor or specialist is deserving of a Patients’ Choice Award nominate them now:
