This year, the annual Lois A. Fairley Nurse of the Year Award is presented to all of the nurses throughout Windsor and Essex County.

The award, which is handed out every year, usually recognizes a Windsor-Essex nurse who has demonstrated a commitment to serving the community through excellence in delivering patient care.

This year there were nominations provided to the committee. Still, they say that it became clear to the Fairley family, Registered Nurses Association of Ontario representatives, and even some community nominators for this year’s award suggested honouring all of the nurses throughout Windsor and Essex county.

“On behalf of the Windsor Essex RNAO chapter, it is a pleasure to collaborate with the Fairley Family once again to recognize the outstanding efforts of a nurse in our community. It is always difficult to find that one nurse that exemplifies the many characteristics of Lois. This year is very different from previous years, in many ways. All areas of nursing practice have been impacted by our current Coronavirus pandemic. This has been a time filled with stress, anxiety and concern; there has also been a great deal of compassion, professionalism and leadership shown,” said Crystal Hepburn, RNAO Windsor Essex Chapter President.

“All of the registered nurses, nurse practitioners, registered practical nurses, and nursing students should be quite proud of their efforts to ensure that our community maintains its health and strength during this unprecedented time.”
