Over the last few months, Hamilton Health Care System presented the Heart of Hamilton Award to associates for acts that exceeded performance expectations.

The Heart of Hamilton Award is provided as a way to recognize Hamilton associates or volunteers for actions that truly demonstrate the “Heart of Hamilton” (serving with compassion through professionalism, respect, integrity, diligence and excellence).

Hamilton associates and volunteers can be nominated for the Heart of Hamilton Award at hamiltonhealth.com/heartofhamilton or at one the recognition boxes located around the system.
