Congratulations to our Stars of CAHS winners
17/02/2020
Last Friday, Aboriginal Health Worker Josie Ford from Armadale Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, was presented with her Stars of CAHS Award by CAHS Chief Executive Dr Aresh Anwar and PCH Foundation's Heiko Plange, representing our award sponsors.
“Josie had an idea to create an Aboriginal health and wellbeing festival in response to the growing number of suicides in the Aboriginal community and she made it happen! About 18 months of hard work later, the festival took place. It was so successful it is now going to be an annual event. People like Josie are few and far between, she cares so much about what she does, and digs deep and gives so much of herself to her role. This festival was a huge undertaking and a real positive action to address the causes of suicide in Josie’s community. The world needs more people like Josie. The festival and her role in it really summed up a lot of the CAHS Values – definitely Compassion, Collaboration, Equity and Excellence.”
The second winner was our Shape Our Future steering team for their work towards driving cultural change at CAHS.
Winners of the Stars of CAHS Awards receive a Coles Myer gift card and a trophy with thanks to our award sponsors HESTA and Perth Children's Hospital Foundation.
Nominations for the first quarter awards are closing soon so make sure you get a nomination in for a deserving staff member now!
