The Award
This award recognizes an article published in Healthcare Management Forum in the preceding year which has helped to advance knowledge in the practice of health leadership. The winner will receive an etched glass trophy. The recipient will also receive paid travel and accommodations to attend the College’s Honouring Health Leadership event, and a complimentary registration to the CCHL National Conference.
Healthcare Management Forum has been publishing for more than 30 years, and is viewed by readers as a credible source of information with lasting exposure.
