Celebrating our champions at the 2017 Caring Together Excellence Awards

Caboolture and Kilcoy Hospitals and Woodford Corrections Health staff recently celebrated another successful year at the 2017 QSuper Caring Together Excellence Awards.

Executive Director Dr Lance Le Ray said the annual award ceremony was a wonderful opportunity to highlight and celebrate the hard work of colleagues at Caboolture and Kilcoy Hospitals and Woodford Corrections Health over the past 12 months.

“We can be justifiably proud of how we go above and beyond when caring together for the community,” Dr Le Ray said.

“The winners were selected from a record number of nominations this year.

“I was very happy that representatives from the Metro North Board and Executive were able to join us and officially recognise the work of several staff, teams and departments in alignment with our values.
