Client Choice

Client Choice

VHA is made up of caring and committed people who truly want to help and love what they do.

In every role, VHA team members lead with purpose, build bonds that matter, and are passionate about providing high quality care, with great heart, to vulnerable populations in the communities we serve.

What are the Client Choice Awards?

VHA's annual Client Choice Awards give clients and families an opportunity to nominate VHA care team members who have really made a difference and recognize them for demonstrating high quality care delivered with great heart.

Each year we receive hundreds of nominations which are all carefully reviewed by our selection committee. Nominated workers receive recognition of their nomination and up to 10 winners are selected.

Client Choice award winners receive a $500 award and an engraved plaque. A special tribute video is also created to highlight their unique contributions and impact. In the fall, we celebrate with our winners at VHA's Staff and Service Provider Recognition Event.

How do I nominate my care provider?

Nominations for our Client Choice Awards are open until Wednesday, May 31, 2023. We encourage you to share as much information as possible.
