Celebrating Excellence with the Core Value Awards and Long Service Awards

Being recognized for exceptional work or service is important for a happy and productive workforce. We also know it improves patient care. 

Each year, Waypoint’s Core Value Awards recognize staff who demonstrate behaviours that bring our values to life in one of the following categories: Care, Respect, Accountability, Innovation, Collaboration, Patient Safety, Leadership, Psychological Health, Safety & Wellness, and Teamwork. 

The Annual Celebration of Excellence honours all the nominees, and this year the celebration included recognition for the Long Service Award recipients from 2020, 2021 and 2022 who have achieved 25, 30, 35 and 40 years of dedicated service to Waypoint and mental health and addiction care. 

We’d like to offer our heartfelt thanks to everyone recognized this year. We are in awe of all of the accomplishments and continued service despite the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, and are proud to be part of a team that time and again steps up to collaborate and provide leadership in mental health and addiction services, and who work together to reach and support people in real need of help and care. 

The Hon. Silvia Jones, Ontario Minister of Health came to Waypoint in December and offered her personal thanks to some of our Core Value Award nominees, recognizing Waypoint staff for going above and beyond every single day to provide world-class mental health and addictions care in our community.
