The BC Quality Awards celebrate the people and projects that have made key contributions to quality and innovation in the delivery of care in BC.
The BC Quality Awards are an annual celebration of people and projects that improved the quality of care in British Columbia. They were established in 2009
Five Excellence in Quality categories represent the five areas of care as defined by the BC Health Quality Matrix, and four individual categories celebrate inspiring patients, caregivers and health care practitioners.
Any project that improved the quality of health care in BC, and any person whose dedication to improvement inspires you!
Anyone, including those who work in health care, as well as patients, caregivers and family members!
