The annual BC Health Care Awards recognize the best in BC’s publicly-funded health care community, with one of the highlights being the individual Health Care Hero awards. This year, during the 12th annual awards, seven Health Care Heroes were recognized for the heart they put into their work, the inspiration they provide to colleagues around them and their ability to make a difference by going above and beyond.

As part of our mission to improve health and wellbeing for British Columbians, Pacific Blue Cross was honoured to be the sponsor of the Health Care Hero category. These awards recognize seven different areas: affiliates, Fraser Health, Interior Health, Island Health, Northern Health, Provincial Health Services and Vancouver Coastal Health.
