There’s no better time to show what you can do.
“Bright Lights” Award recipients are:

- Team Players – interprofessional teams, collaborators, and relationship builders
- Demonstrating Impact – can show how their work is benefitting the health care system
Awards will be presented at the AFHTO 2022 Conference Awards ceremony, which will be held at lunchtime on October 12, 2022.

Award Categories

- It takes a team: collaboration inside and out
- Health equity at the centre
- Sustainable solutions to primary care problems
- Mental health and addictions
- Special recognition for underrepresented teams
- In 2019 Trent Hills FHT won special recognition for providing better care for rural children . This year all new/underrepresented primary care teams again can win an award for their contributions to Ontario’s healthcare system.
