Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD) is once again providing the opportunity for our hard working health professionals and volunteers to be recognised for excellence.
Nominations are now open for the 2018 MLHD Excellence Awards, which aim to recognise the amazing contribution of health professionals and volunteers across the region.
Acting director of nursing at GBH Julie Henderson encouraged everyone to nominate in the different categories.
“The nursing staff, the doctors and Allied health do a great job all year round. It would be great for them to nominate their co-workers or other members of the community and get some recognition for their excellent work,” Ms Henderson said.
MLHD Chief Executive Jill Ludford was excited to acknowledge the work being done across the district.
“During my site visits across the region I see so many great initiatives and projects, and excellent delivery of quality service that it’s great to see these staff rewarded for their efforts at the Excellence Award celebrations.”
