2020 Awards

Mission Award

Mission Awards are awarded annually to one individual and one team. They represent an opportunity for staff to recognize colleagues who exemplify a dedication to living our shared mission and values.

Upon selection by the Awards Committee, the recipient will receive:

An award that will be presented at the Providence Health Care Long Service & Mission Awards Gala in May.
In previous years, the Mission Awards used to be given at the Annual General Meeting luncheon events. Beginning last year (2019), these awards were incorporated into the Long Service Gala at PHC.
An acknowledgement by a documentary video that will be shown at the gala.
Award funds of up to $1,000 that may be used to support a priority need in their department or in support of a PHC mission-driven activity.
Mission Team Award recipients will also receive the Mission Team Trophy to display for the year.

Nominees not selected to receive a Mission Award will receive a letter and certificate acknowledging their contribution to our Providence Health Care mission-driven culture.

Keeping The Promise Award

The Keeping the Promise Award is presented by Providence Health Care and generously supported by St. Paul’s Foundation. This award honours the rich history of our Founding Congregations and their commitment to social justice. Our Sisters lived with the conviction that everyone deserved care and had value. They also believed that compassion was an essential ingredient in treatment. This award acknowledges the responsibility of carrying on the work of the Sisters and honours their legacy.
