As new medical residents launch their new career, a group of 12 current residents celebrate a big achievement. The Medical Staff Association (MSA) announced their 2020 winners of the Outstanding Resident Awards. The awards recognize one individual from each department at HHS who demonstrate excellence in patient care. Each department establishes its own criteria to select a winner.


“It’s an absolute honour to recognize these 12 strong individuals who exemplify the very best about being a resident at HHS,” says Dr. Catherine Ross, President, MSA. “Each one of them is a leader and will continue to provide excellent patient care for many years. The MSA is proud of this outstanding group and wish them well in their chosen careers.


Due to COVID-19, the awards ceremony has been moved to November.
