Wound Care Heroes

Making a Difference

Recognizing Canada’s Wound Care Heroes

The Canadian Association of Wound Care is inviting healthcare professionals to nominate someone who has made a difference in the lives of people suffering from acute or chronic wounds. The ideal candidate is a healthcare professional working in their community who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help a patient deal with a wound; implement a wound care prevention program; or help patients and their families navigate the healthcare system. In short, a wound care hero who is improving the lives of their patients on a daily basis.

If you know someone who you think qualifies – or if you have a story that you’d like to share – please let us know.

The winner of the Wound Care Heroes contest will receive complimentary registration for the 17th Annual Wound Care Conference, to be held in Ottawa from November 3-6, 2011, where they will be honoured during the opening plenary session.

Ten runners-up will receive a complimentary one year CAWC membership; a complimentary wound care resource from our Boutique Store; and will be profiled in the Fall 2011 edition of Wound Care Canada magazine.

The deadline for submissions is August 31, 2011. Please fill out the submission form to make your nomination.
