PHSA's people are truly a force for good.
This year's PHSA+ Award winners bring PHSA's values to life every day in their work and interactions with patients and colleagues. Their courage, compassion and commitment to innovation and collaboration make PHSA a great place to work and receive care. Here are the esteemed winners who were chosen by a committee of diverse employees from across our organization.
