Municipality Opens Nominations for 2026 Excellence in Healthcare Awards

The Municipality of Inverness County is proud to announce the second annual Awards for Excellence in Healthcare.

Following the success of last year’s awards, this is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the dedicated healthcare professionals who work tirelessly and selflessly to serve others. The awards offer everyone the opportunity to highlight individuals who deserve special recognition of their service.

Nominations are now open, available online at invernesscounty.ca. Paper copies of the nomination forms will be available at the Municipal Administration Building (375 Main St., Port Hood) as well as Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital, Sacred Heart Community Health Centre, and at all East Coast Regional Library branches in Inverness County.

Award categories have been created to recognize everybody involved in the healthcare sector in Inverness County. Including but not limited to doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, allied health professionals, volunteers, and more.

Nominations must be submitted by end of day Saturday, February 28, 2026. An awards committee made up of municipal staff and a mix of practicing and retired healthcare professionals will select winners, which will then be announced at an awards gala in Chéticamp on April 22, 2026.
