May 9, 2018 BRAMPTON/ETOBICOKE – This week, William Osler Health System (Osler) is honouring its
more than 2,600 dedicated nurses as part of National Nursing Week celebrations.
“We often hear stories about how Osler nurses go above and beyond to ensure patients and their families
have exceptional experiences while they are with us,” said Dr. Brendan Carr, President and CEO, Osler.
“Nursing Week is the perfect time to celebrate these achievements and honour the men and women who
consistently deliver patient-inspired health care without boundaries. They are truly an inspiration and we
cannot thank them enough for their dedicated efforts on behalf of our hospitals.”
This year, Osler is also pleased to celebrate long-time Osler nurse and Clinical Services Manager Paula
Manuel, recipient of the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario’s (RNAO) Award of Merit. The award
recognizes a registered nurse or nurse practitioner who has made outstanding contributions to the RNAO
and nursing profession in Ontario. In addition, Osler nurses Kelly Meijs, Theresa Nitti and Gilda Theriault
were among more than 100 Ontario nurses nominated by their peers and patients for the 17th Annual
Toronto Star Nightingale Award, acknowledging nurses who have gone above and beyond their call of duty.
“Our nurses are there every step of the way as our patients make their way through their hospital and
health care experience,” said Darryl Yates, Associate Vice President Clinical Practice, and Interim Chief
Nursing Executive, Osler. “It is because of their compassion, knowledge, positivity and boundless energy, we
can provide high-quality care to the growing community. We are so thankful for all they do.”
