The HHA honours healthcare workers who go above and beyond to care for patients, families, and the community.

Made up of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and medical social workers, the team is part of IMH's palliative care service, caring for patients with life-limiting illnesses since 2017. Driven by a commitment to patientsโ comfort, dignity and peace, they worked through challenges to introduce technology that reduces the need for repeated needle insertions and injections.
Their efforts paid off when the first syringe pump for palliative patients was deployed in April 2025, helping patients receive the relief they need with less discomfort.
