Cape Breton University is committed to championing the Island’s prosperity, prioritizing strategic initiatives in areas such as health. This award is one way for CBU to participate more fully in developing healthcare solutions for the Province of Nova Scotia and to recognize and thank the many members of our great community who give so freely of themselves to better the lives of others.
The purpose of this award is to recognize the commitment and contributions of individuals in the medical community and honour their dedication and achievements in the field of healthcare. It is the goal of Cape Breton University to ensure these individuals know they are seen and appreciated.
The awards are presented annually in June at a special reception held at Cape Breton University. This year’s awards will be held on Wednesday, June 19, 2024.
The recipients of the award can be anyone involved in the healthcare sector in some capacity including, but not limited to, physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners, administrators and volunteers.
