The care awards

With the care awards we want to shine a spotlight on those who dedicate their lives to helping and caring for the most vulnerable and needy in society, primarily the elderly but also patients at the end of their lives, their next-of-kin, and patients with serious, life-threatening, chronic, mental or physical conditions.

The awards are a partnership with the Dignity Centre and are given every year to a health professional, volunteer, next-of-kin, institution or project that has given outstanding care. The awards were established in 2001 and are given to candidates from Bergen or Vestland county. The first prize is a cheque for NOK 50,000 and a statuette made by Vidar Mæland.

Two runners-up receive a cheque for NOK 25,000 each and a plaque also made by Vidar Mæland.

Runner-up: Anette Ravnøy
