BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) recognized employees from the Interior region with Employee Recognition Awards.
The BCAS Employee Recognition Awards program gives formal recognition to individuals or teams for their exemplary contributions. Nominations fall under four categories: Patient Care, Community Involvement, Teamwork and Leadership. Each year individuals and teams throughout BCAS are nominated by their peers, a committee reviews the nominations and selects the award recipients.
This year’s recipients in the Interior Region are:
A team of Lillooet, BC paramedics received a Teamwork award as part of the BCAS Employee Recognition Program. During the 2009 interface fires in Lillooet, BC, this team of paramedics went above and beyond the call of duty to help their communities.
Paramedic Amy Berthelot was recognized for her positive and kind attitude towards others, her exemplary demonstration of BCAS’ values and her outstanding work to foster a positive workplace.
Unit Chief Randy MacLeod was honoured with the Innovation Award for his long-standing commitment to the BCAS Critical Care Program, and the Executive Director’s Commendation Award for exceptional patient care.
