Health Canada is holding the Eleventh Annual First Nations and Inuit Health Branch Award of Excellence in Nursing.

The Award of Excellence in Nursing celebrates the dedication, initiative and excellence of nurses employed by First Nations communities, Health Canada and Inuit communities who work in partnership to improve the health of Canada's Aboriginal peoples. It is presented every year during National Nursing Week and nurses are nominated for this award by their peers, to recognize the contribution of nurses to First Nations and Inuit communities.

Three registered nurses employed by Health Canada, First Nations and Inuit communities are being recognized during National Nursing Week for their dedication, initiative and high standard of excellence.
