Recognizing Excellence in Patient, Client and Family-Centred Care

As the situation surrounding COVID-19 remains uncertain, we have made the difficult decision to put the 2020 Guiding Star Awards program on pause.

Children’s Health Foundation is proud to launch the Guiding Star Awards, a set of awards with a paediatric focus.

The Guiding Star Awards were created in 2019 to recognize excellence in Patient, Client and Family-Centred Care among paediatric health care professionals of Children’s Hospital, Children’s Health Research Institute and Thames Valley Children’s Centre.
