The 2021/2022 CMLA Awards and Recipients were:
Award: Kathleen Jo-Anne Brown Huhtala Award
Recipient: Emma Furtado
Comments: Emma was a student who was always positive and enthusiastic about every single activity she performed. She demonstrated her exceptional work ethic by always being the first person to hand in every assignment and complete every quiz, and this continued into her practicum. She was a very dedicated student who was also a fantastic team player. Every person she worked with at her practicum site said that the staff loved her and the patients loved her and responded to her positive attitude. Throughout the entire program, she consistently showed the care and compassion that every healthcare worker should possess.
Award: HHS AHT Award
Recieptent: Yamana Montero
Comments:
Yamana showed her grit and determination again and again in the CMLA program. She always went above and beyond with every assignment and opportunity she was given. On top of this, she had the most amazing positive disposition and always saw the best side of everything and everyone. The reports of her performance during her practicum were always glowing and filled up the pages with all the positive attributes she brought to the organization. I think the wording from her final evaluation at practicum sums her up perfectly. “From the start, Yamana was a star”.
