For years, they’ve kept you and your community strong. They’re a healer. A role model. They’re dedicated to maintaining great healthcare close to home, keeping you and your community strong.
Give a healthcare hero in your community a healthy dose of recognition – Nominate your local doctor for a Rural Physician Award of Distinction.
The RPAP Award of Distinction was created in 2002 to recognize the contributions of all rural physicians, especially those ‘unsung heroes’ who provide Alberta rural communities with outstanding medical services and who also make huge contributions to medical practice and their communities.
The deadline for this year’s award submission is May 31, 2015 – so act now!
