Video: Mission Legacy Award recipients share thoughts on being recognized
On Oct. 3, 2017, the community of St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton recognized individuals who made an exceptional contribution to the health care ministry of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton (SJHH), St. Joseph's Health System, and/or the St. Joseph's Healthcare (SJH) Foundation.
To be considered, nominees have to share a deep belief in the values that our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton instilled in our organization: That it is an honour to serve – and in particular to ensure that those most vulnerable and marginalized have access to compassionate, high quality care.
In the video above, this year's award recipients share their thoughts on the recognition. Do you know someone who should be considered for next year's award?
Nomination Process & Form
We encourage any individual(s) (internally or externally) to nominate a deserving individual or group/team as a candidate to receive the Mission Legacy Award. The nomination of posthumous candidates is also welcome.
Nominations must include a summary detailing the career and achievements of the nominee as well as an explanation detailing how this individual has contributed to the legacy and the Mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton, SJHH and/or the SJH Foundation. In addition, the name, address, and phone number of the nominee as well as the nominator should be included.
It is the intent of this award to recognize individuals who have made meaningful contributions throughout the history of the organization, not just those from the recent past.
There is no deadline for nominations as the selection process is ongoing. Annually, a selection committee will review all nominations on file including those from both current and prior years for consideration. A formal recognition will take place annually at an event scheduled to acknowledge the exceptional Mission Legacy Award winners for the current year.
