Kudos Wall of Excellence
You can view the current list of winners below, and when you see them in the hallway, be sure to give them a sincere congratulations!
Every fall we announce the roster of incredible team members that have been awarded one of our six Annual Kudos Awards for continually going above and beyond their regular duties. These team members were nominated by co-workers, physicians, patients, visitors, and volunteers of Mackenzie Health as a way to recognize the contributions they make every day.
