Recognize the health care innovator in your community!

Did you know philanthropy enables VCH to invest in innovations that would not otherwise be possible? Donor dollars empower a constellation of innovative projects, centres and people who are advancing our understanding of disease and illness, improving the health of individuals and our healthcare system, from hospital to home. The partnership between philanthropy and health care drives innovation in this province ­– and we want to recognize the people who are leading the way.

New Lifetime Achievement in Health Innovation Award

There are many individuals in B.C. who are coming up with new ideas, big and small, to improve health care. To recognize those people driving innovation, VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation has created the new Lifetime Achievement in Health Innovation Award.

The first award will be presented to the winner at the inaugural Innovators’ Challenge event in April 2018.

We would like you to nominate those outstanding people in your community whose work and innovative ideas have made a significant impact on health care in BC.
