Dorothy
Ley Award of Excellence
The late Dorothy Ley
was one of Canada’s first champions for quality care at the end
of life. She brought a unique individuality to the field of hospice and
palliative care, and maintained a highly visible and vocal presence during
her distinguished career until her death in 1994. Dr. Ley was a pioneer
and she broke new ground in fields of medicine and in health care in general.
The Dorothy Ley Award
of Excellence, established in 1996, is a perennial reminder of her truly
great legacy. Presented by OPCA, the Dorothy Ley Award of Excellence is
awarded annually in recognition of an individual or team effort to advance
and improve the quality of palliative and end-of-life care.
Nominations are made
and endorsed by three individuals, one of who must be a current member
of OPCA. The nominee is not required to be a member of OPCA. The Board
appoints a Selection Committee to review the nominations and select the
recipient based on predetermined criteria.
