Brown and Newport, family doctors at the Peterborough Clinic Family Health Team, were nominated by their patients for the exceptional care they have provided, the release states.
"This award is a way for patients to honour their physicians who have demonstrated exceptional health care by looking beyond treatment and focusing on the well-being of their patient," states Sholom Glouberman, president of Patients Association of Canada (PAC) in the release.
The PAC is a patient-led and patient-governed association that aims to increase the presence of the patient voice in health care, the release states.
