Northern Health (NH) strives to make our values – empathy, respect, collaboration, and innovation – the core of what we do every day.
The Dr. Charles Jago Awards, named after our former board chair, acknowledge and celebrate the NH staff, physicians, and teams who have made outstanding contributions to the organizational goals, reflecting our values in the process.
Northern Health’s values are defined as:
- Empathy – Seek to understand each individual’s experience.
- Respect – Accept each person as a unique individual.
- Collaboration – Work together to build partnerships.
- Innovation – Seek creative and practical solutions.
On May 6, NH planned to celebrate the individuals and teams that embody these values with the 4th Annual Dr. Charles Jago Awards. However, due to physical distancing guidelines, this year’s event was cancelled. Instead, the winners will be celebrated with individual prizes as we continue with safety precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
