The County of Simcoe is recognizing the efforts of healthcare professionals throughout the month of May for providing exceptional care to residents and visitors across the region.

The professionals include the highly skilled team behind the County of Simcoe Paramedic services, emergency management, and those who provide diverse care within the long-term care homes, seniors’ services facilities, and adult day programs.

During the month, recognition will include First Responders Day, National Physician’s Day, Emergency Preparedness Week, World Facilities Management Day, Nurses’ Week, Paramedic Services Week, and National Personal Support Worker Day.

“Our Health and Emergency Services team members have demonstrated remarkable resilience and dedication during trying times, with the devastating ice storm that severely impacted our region as a recent example,” said Simcoe County Warden Basil Clarke. “From responding to emergency medical calls, to providing compassionate, around-the-clock care for our most vulnerable residents, we are grateful that each of these outstanding individuals has chosen to bring their talents to Simcoe County.”

Healthcare professionals in the County deliver highly skilled services to help residents during their most difficult times.

“It is truly a privilege to work alongside this team of highly trained health-care providers,” said Jane Sinclair, general manager of health and emergency services at the County of Simcoe. “From our paramedics to our dietary team members, these individuals show tremendous kindness, skill, and dedication to our communities. I can’t thank them enough for all they do to keep our communities safe.”
