Different this year – Dianna Mah Jones Award of Excellence in Person-Centred Care
Named in honour of Dianna Mah-Jones, this particular award is made for a group or perhaps project that uses top practices to improve care for individuals, clients or residents by concentrating on the demands of the person instead of the needs of the device and service. Dianna Mah-Jones, an occupational therapist at GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, was tragically murdered, along with her husband Richard Jones, just three weeks after being called Provincial HC Hero at the 2017 awards.
