Here For Our Healthcare Workers

Over the years, our healthcare and rehabilitation community has grown and is recognized as best in class. Many of our family members, friends, and neighbours work in the field and are committed to the care of all their patients and clients. Although COVID has and is a major part of all of our lives, the finalists and award recipients were not chosen for a one-year commitment to our community – they have volunteered their time and energy for many years.

At Lerners we recognize the exceptional efforts of our healthcare community and say THANK YOU.
