MLHD Chief Executive Jill Ludford said the Awards represent an opportunity to recognise and reward accomplishments of teams and individuals across the District.
“It’s a very exciting time for our organisation as we come together to recognise health staff who have gone above and beyond in their roles within the MLHD,” Ms Ludford said.
"We've seen such high quality and diverse nominations this year, the judging panels really have had a tough time determining the top three in each category.
“The Excellence Awards celebrate the achievements of staff and volunteers for their pursuit of excellence and commitment to improving the lives of patients.”
Winners will be announced at a gala presentation evening on Friday 14 June 2024.
