Recognizing the remarkable people at LHSC

 

Cliff Nordal, President and Chief Executive Officer of London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) recently honoured the recipients of the 2010 President’s Awards, which include the established award for Community Service and two awards for Living Our Core Values, How We Work Together and How We Serve Our Patients, in addition to this year’s new award for Leadership. This year’s recipients are:

Vimla Harry	Community Service
Kathy Rosser	Living Our Core Values: How We Work Together
Brenda Cannon	Living Our Core Values: How We Serve Our Patients
Monique Prendergast	Leadership

Vimla Harry, a medical laboratory technologist, is this year’s recipient of the President’s Award for Community Service, recognizing her years of dedication to the Sunfest-London Committee for Cross-Cultural Arts. This award recognizes an individual at LHSC whose volunteer achievements have made a difference to the lives of people in our community.

Brenda Cannon and Kather Rosser are the recipients of the two awards for Living Our Core Values, How We Serve Our Patients and How We Work Together, respectively. Cannon has been the receptionist on Switchboard at South Street Hospital for 16 years, while Rosser has spent the past 35 years as a communications clerk in the Clinical Neurological Sciences department at University Hospital. Each of these individuals demonstrates our values of respect, trust and collaboration on a daily basis.

Monique Prendergast, manager of Physiotherapy Practice is the inaugural recipient of the President’s Award for Leadership, recognizing leaders at LHSC – both formal and informal – who make a significant difference to the effectiveness of the organization.

"During my time as President and CEO of LHSC, I have been witness to many extraordinary events. Medical and surgical firsts, research breakthroughs, and patient care milestones,” says Nordal. “Yet what inspires me most is the remarkable people behind it all. The staff, physicians and volunteers at LHSC embody the spirit of the President’s Awards in so many ways, and I am privileged to recognize this year’s recipients for their dedication and hard work.”

Each winner’s name now appears on the perpetual plaques honouring award recipients, located in the President’s Gallery at both Victoria and University hospitals.
