ON Chiropractic Patient Care Award Dr. Jenny Elliott & Dr. Nekessa Remy For the first time ever, we have selected two Patient Care Award recipients. Dr. Jenny Elliott (AECC, 2002) has been practicing in Guelph for 15+ years and is known for her excellent patient rapport, empathy and technique. For her, the patient experience—from initial contact, office ambiance to discharge—is vital, and she is constantly examining and optimizing every aspect to facilitate quality patient care. Dr. Elliott is committed to multidisciplinary therapy; collaborating daily on patient files with personal trainers, weight loss coaches, chiropodists, massage therapists and physiotherapists. She has fostered a collaborative learning environment where all practitioners continually improve and share their skills with each other. Dr. Nekessa Remy (CMCC, 2007) places a high priority on empowering patients in the management of their personal care plans; as a result, she demonstrates and incorporates the patient- centred philosophy in her professional work. She is committed to engaging her patients in their treatment plans, making sure they understand their health conditions, facilitating confidence and restored control. A team player, Dr. Remy collaborates with other health care practitioners so patients have access to a range of treatment modalities, and she herself offers various manual therapies and functional rehabilitation plans with a holistic approach. CHA of the Year Award Amelia Malig & Cherle Burns Amelia Malig and Cherle Burns are two outstanding CHAs who work together in Toronto. Both Cherle and Amelia deliver superior customer service resulting in a loyal and highly engaged roster of patients. Together they create a welcoming and supportive environment—a healing oasis—where their team of practitioners can focus on providing quality care. Their collective work is deeply appreciated by Dr. Kathleen O’Hara, Dr. Lynette Nissen and other team members. Great leaders lead by example, creating an empowering environment that enables people to achieve goals and meet their full potential. A good leader inspires others to learn more, achieve more and become more. Leadership is having the gift to inspire others to thrive beyond their capabilities and overcome any obstacles. www.chiropractic.on.ca 11
