"I would like to recognize Bill Bishop as a Healthcare Hero. Although Bill is not a medical practitioner himself, I would classify him as a ‘caring medical professional volunteer’, serving as a member of the Patient and Family Advisory Council at Deep River and District Health, as well as a volunteer driver for Carefor.

 

While driving patients in need of a chauffeur to medical appointments, Bill recently had a patient who was unfamiliar with accessing health services, and Bill used his experience to assist the patient in achieving optimum outcomes from their visit to the Emergency Department.

 

As a member of the Patient and Family Advisory Council at DRDH, Bill deserves recognition for sharing his experiences with fellow members, making us all the more aware of the first-hand experiences of patients and their caregivers across our region."

Congratulations and thank you Bill for your dedication and for helping to improve care experiences for those in our community.
