Celebrating our physicians’ years of service
Every year we recognize members of our medical team marking service milestones with VCH. This year, I am proud to say that almost 200 Vancouver Acute physicians are celebrating their years of dedicated service. Together, they represent thousands of years of contribution, and the meaningful difference they make can be measured by every interaction — no matter how brief — with patients, Residents and colleagues.
Please join me in congratulating this year’s long service celebrants and our 2015 Physician Academic Award winners. Their dedication and commitment to excellence enriches our organization, our team and, most importantly, benefits our patients.
