WINDSOR, ON - Every May, National Nurses’ Week draws attention from around our nation as we celebrate the role and contributions nurses make to the well-being of Canadians. The recognition week brings attention to the profession and takes place during the birthday week of Florence Nightingale, who is considered the founder of modern nursing.
Under the beautiful spring sun, Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare (HDGH) hosted its 2023 Nurses’ Awards Ceremony. The event honoured HDGH Nurses with the Jeanne Mance Extraordinary Nursing Award and the Lori Dupont Bursary.
Winners of the Jeanne Mance Extraordinary Nursing Care Award which recognizes HDGH nurses who continually go above and beyond to provide compassionate and professional care to patients and exemplify teamwork, compassion, stewardship, and respect included:
- Christina Hawley, RPN, Inpatient Rehabilitation
- David LaPointe, Nurse Practitioner, Complex Medical Care
- Shannan LaRocque, RPN, Inpatient Rehabilitation
The 2023 recipient of the Annual Lori Dupont Bursary was Brooke Campoli, an RN with HDGH's Geriatric Mental Health Outreach Team (GMHOT), who seeks to elevate her nursing education and career by obtaining her Nurse Practitioner designation. The Lori Dupont Bursary assists with continuing education costs. Each successful candidate is awarded up to $1,000.
"As these long three years of the pandemic come to an end, we have so much to look forward to in the future of nursing and the future of healthcare," says Janice Dawson, Chief Nursing Executive and VP of Clinical Services - Restorative Care. "The 2023 Nurses Week theme 'Our Nurses, Our Future', speaks to the invaluable efforts of our nurses and their significant impact on the care provide today to benefit the future our of patients, their families, and our community."
Congratulations to all of our excellent RNs, RPNs and NPs across the Windsor-Essex hospital system!
