On Thursday, September 23rd, Temiskaming Hospital held its 2021 Service Awards Ceremony and Staff Appreciation Luncheon.  Due to COVID-19, last year’s ceremony was postponed and staff celebrating milestones or receiving awards in 2020 were recognized this year.

Each year we thank our staff for their tremendous efforts throughout the year, and this past year, or rather 18 months, has been exceptionally challenging with COVID-19.   

This year, 46 employees received service awards totaling 600 years of service to our patients. We thank each and every one of you for your commitment to making our hospital one of the best.

The service award recognizes a career milestone and is given in thanks for time dedicated to Temiskaming Hospital. Each person being recognized today, and each of you, plays a role in achieving our mission and goals. Working at the hospital is more than just a job. The work we do here directly impacts our community and our families. The successful operation of our hospital is the direct result of you, our valued employees. Your dedication and commitment serve as a vital link in the chain which drives our success. In recognition of that commitment, we are pleased to celebrate you all today.
