Rhapsody Awards

There are two Rhapsody Award categories:

Rhapsody Rural Physician Award
Rhapsody Healthcare Heroes Award (Individual or teams)

Rhapsody Rural Physician Award

Established in 2002, this award recognizes the contributions of rural physicians, especially those unsung heroes who provide Alberta rural communities with outstanding patient care and make notable contributions to medical practice and to their communities.

Rhapsody Healthcare Heroes Award

Established in 2018, this Rhapsody Award recognizes rural Alberta health professionals or teams that demonstrate superior commitment to their patients, healthcare team, and community.

Since 2002, the RhPAP Awards program has provided rural Alberta’s healthcare heroes and rural communities with a healthy dose of recognition.

The RhPAP Rhapsody Awards continue a long tradition of celebrating rural Alberta’s healthcare heroes and rural communities. A play on our name, the Rhapsody Awards are designed to celebrate the individuals, teams, and communities that make significant civic and healthcare contributions within rural Alberta.

Rhapsody Awards are a community celebration.

RhPAP supports communities to celebrate their Rhapsody Award recipients and their achievements in their home communities.

If your nominee is successful, RhPAP will host a community recognition event to honour the successful recipient.

RhPAP wants to help you celebrate!

This recognition event will include a Rhapsody Award presentation, with a video profile of the recipient and their contributions to the health and well-being of their community.
