More about People First

Our “People First” recognition program launched in 2010 to recognize and honour VCH employees who excel in supporting the people we serve. We’ve had the pleasure of recognizing staff and physicians for their hard work, heard about patients who wrote to us to say thanks to individuals and teams, and even learned about relationships between VCH teams and other organizations. There are lessons in each of the nominations that are important to share, and we want to know about even more of them.
