• Heather Amos, Communications Officer, BC Centre for Disease Control, Communications – “For more than a year now, Heather has put her heart, soul and hundreds of hours of overtime into the provincial communications response to COVID-19. She is passionate and professional, always patient, always positive, and always thoughtful of her colleagues. She is an unsung hero who has made an immeasurably positive impact on the health and safety of British Columbians by virtue of dedication and commitment, and how she 'shows up' each and every day.”

He is caring, decisive, responsible, respectful and committed; marking him a genuine leader and worthy of recognition.”
• Don Elzinga, Director, Patient Transfer Services, BC Emergency Health Services – “During Don’s travels throughout B.C. he received a lot of feedback from health care staff and physicians regarding the lack of communication around the estimated times of arrival from BC Ambulance. Don set out to create the first ever provincial patient transfer dashboard. The work to achieve this was significant and took 18 months to create through collaboration with health authorities, Ministry of Health, Privacy, IMITS and other stakeholder groups.”
• Michelle Kelsey BC Children's Hospital and BC Women's Hospital + Health Centre Laboratory Manager, Lower Mainland Labs – “For most individuals this role can seem like an unfathomable position however Michelle has carried out her role with patience, vigour, enthusiasm and a genuine desire to inspire everyone to improve delivery of diagnostic testing for your patients and their families.”
• Angus Monaghan, Provincial Director, Regional Forensic Clinics, BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services – “Angus is a true leader. He leads by example, he never gets flustered or shows any negative emotions. He is always calm and consistent, and keeps his team on an even keel. He has helped us weather some challenging times and changes but is the rock we can rely on. When others are spinning, Angus is moving steadily forward.”

• COVID-19 Knowledge Translation team, BCCDC – “I am so proud of the work the COVID KT team has done. I feel honoured to work with this team of motivated, hard-working and brilliant individuals. They are very deserving of a PHSA+ Award as they exemplify all of the PHSA values in the work they do.”
• Neonatal Nursing/Primary Care Paramedic team, BC Women’s and BC Emergency Health Services – “The RN-PCP working group accomplished a lot to ensure that right services were in place for the right patients at the right time and that there would be no gaps in care for not only the maternal / newborn / pediatric population of B.C., but their families as well.”
• Office of Virtual Health – “The work of the Office of Virtual Health is driven by compassion as the team cares about the health and well-being of one another and those they serve. The work is patient centred and informed by evidence with an ambition to improve patient experience and wellness outcomes, while also considering clinicians’ and staff experiences.” 
• T7 Team – Bedside Nursing, nursing leadership and allied health – “T7 is the ‘yes’ unit.  The staff are repeatedly faced with very challenging situations, which are not necessarily definitively outlined in their job descriptions. But they make it work. And they make it work with grace, and a humbleness that only comes with true passion for their job. T7 nurses go above and beyond every day to provide family-centered care.”

• Sara Christie, Lead, Workplace Experience, Human Resources – “Sara Christie is truly a health care hero, with a special gift of leading with excellence and empowering all she crosses paths with. Knowing how COVID-19 was affecting PHSA employees, Sara worked tirelessly, with her small and mighty Workplace Experience team, to bring a little sunshine into everyone’s lives. Coordinating with donors and vendors, thousands of recognition packages were created and delivered to PHSA employees throughout the province. All of this was done with a smile. Sara is an exemplary example of who we should all strive to be – respectful, kind, compassionate, dedicated and hardworking.”
