Cancer Care Nova Scotia, a provincial program of the Department of Health, announced the winners of its Excellence Awards in Leadership, Innovation, Patient Care and Pioneer Excellence during its 10th anniversary celebration. The event acknowledged the work and commitment of many people who have helped the organization further cancer prevention, treatment and care for Nova Scotia cancer patients and families.
After 10 years, through Cancer Patient Navigation, health professional education, and standards and guideline development, Cancer Care Nova Scotia continues to support health professionals in providing patients with high quality care. Its work with other organizations raises awareness about the importance of healthy lifestyles to reduce cancer risk, and its screening programs educate Nova Scotians about healthy lifestyles and available testing. The goal is to find cancer earlier and treat it better.
A special live performance of ‘Celebrate Life’, a song he wrote for Cancer Care Nova Scotia to honour and recognize those whose lives have been affected by cancer.
