The New Brunswick College of Family Physicians has released its 2020 awards, honouring family physicians from around the province.
A familiar face earned this year’s Family Physician of the Year: the province’s Chief Medical Health Officer, Dr. Jennifer Russell.
A release issued about this year’s awards said Dr. Russell’s “high standard of professionalism is evident in all that she does to educate and empower informed decisions about COVID-19.”
The awards also recognized the provincial network of family physicians, granting an Award of Excellence to all family physicians in New Brunswick.
“As a sign of our gratitude and to recognize the hard work and dedication they provide to New Brunswickers daily, especially during this unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic,” the release stated.
