Created by the QEII Foundation, Angels in Action provides grateful patients and their families – and even peer-to-peer – an opportunity to recognize caregivers at the QEII Health Sciences Centre who make a real difference. Recognition comes in the form of a presentation of a lapel pin designating the recipient an Angel in Action .
Nominate your Angel in Action 
The process is simple: nominators complete a
form naming their angel at the QEII and providing a brief description of the reasons behind the nomination. The completed
nomination form, along with a donation to better health care at the QEII, are returned to the QEII Foundation who organize a surprise “pinning” for the recipient, and issue a tax receipt for the donor.
For more information on honouring your angel, please call Katharine Berrington at 902-442-7146.
January 2012 Angel in Action
A patient of the Nova Scotia Cancer Centre at the QEII recognized RN Lynn Shore as an Angel in Action recently. Along with his donation supporting the Cancer Centre, a patient wrote these words about the care he received from Lynn.
“Lynn has been there for me for the past five years. Her devotion and positive attitude is always there and she has greatly contributed to making my journey with cancer so much easier. Lynn is indeed a tribute to her ‘sisterhood’. It’s true – nurses are angels who have earned their wings.”
Congratulations, Lynn!
