The Life and Contributions of Wilma Crockett
A dedicated dialysis nurse who made a huge impact on her professional community, both locally and provincially, Wilma Crockett worked in Trail, BC until her tragic death in 2001. A kidney patient herself, she knew hemodialysis from the other end of the needle. She was a woman with great courage, disarming wit and a positive outlook. She set very high personal standards and was a tenacious advocate for her profession and for those in her care. Wilma was an inspiration to all who knew her. She represents the perfect namesake for this award.
Past recipients include Dr. Gerry Karr (2011), Anne Gloster (2010), and Dr. Victor Chan (2009). View a full list of past recipients here.
