This year’s New Product – Diane Mach-Jones Award for Excellence in Individual Care
This award, named after Diane Mach-Jones, is awarded to a team or project that uses best practices to improve patient, resident or customer care by focusing on human needs rather than the needs of the system or service. Dianna Ma-Jones, a therapist at GF Strong Rehabilitation Center, tragically died along with her husband Richard Jones just three months after being named Hero of the Province of HK at the 2017 awards ceremony. We hope that this parish will help to keep its memory and heritage alive by recognizing those who seek to provide assistance, respecting the needs, values and preferences of the people.
