So you’ve hit on an idea that has actually helped your patients, residents or clients. Great! But you’re just one person. What can you possibly do to spread the word to your colleagues across Quebec?

More than you realize.

By submitting a description of your pioneering practice or project to the province’s Health and Social Services Network Excellence Awards, you can provide the inspiration that launches your idea far beyond your individual clinic, hospital or residence—even beyond CIUSSS West-Central Montreal.

And you might even earn a prize for your efforts.

That’s why the Ministry of Health and Social Services is now inviting healthcare professionals to enter their submissions in the 35th edition of the Excellence Awards. Winners will be revealed in a ceremony in spring 2018 in the presence of Quebec Health Minister Gaétan Barrette. “The awards are a fantastic way to gain recognition for the innovative practices and projects you’ve designed, developed and implemented,” says Julie Ricciardi, Regional Coordinator for the Awards of Excellence for our CIUSSS.

The application deadline is November 10.
