This year the Patients’ Association, in collaboration with the Ontario Medical Association, held the Patients’ Choice Awards ceremonies in Ottawa, Sarnia, and North Western Ontario. All award recipients were nominated by patients, and then a patient jury selected the winners.
The following general practitioners and specialists were awarded for providing exceptional patient care: Dr. Evelyn Honsl, Dr. Robin Boushey from Ottawa, Dr. Anil Duggal, Dr. Jaishree Uppal, from Sarnia and Dr. Andrew Siren, and Dr. Adam Moir from Northwestern Ontario.
All nominees were recognized for their efforts. As Sholom Glouberman stated in a recent CBC article, “We want physicians to know that we appreciate their commitment to hearing and listening to the patient voice." We’re excited to continue the Patients’ Choice Awards in 2013.
