Healthcare Homecoming Event Celebrates New and Outstanding Healthcare Workers in Greater Miramichi

Miramichi, NB – September 29, 2025 — The Greater Miramichi Service Commission (GMSC) is proud to announce the Healthcare Homecoming Celebration and Hero Awards, a community event that both welcomes new healthcare professionals who have joined the region over the past year and honors those who have been making outstanding contributions to our community.

The event will take place on November 8th, bringing together healthcare professionals, community leaders, and residents to celebrate the people who keep our region strong and healthy.

“Healthcare Homecoming is about more than awards,” said Krista Chase, Director of Regional Economic Development at Growing Greater Miramichi. “It’s about building a sense of belonging for new healthcare workers, showing appreciation to those already here, and recognizing that a strong healthcare system is the backbone of both our community and our economy.”

Why Healthcare Matters to Growth
Healthcare is one of the most critical pillars of a thriving region. When communities have access to quality healthcare, it not only improves quality of life but also attracts and retains residents, professionals, and families. For Greater Miramichi, welcoming healthcare workers means more than filling jobs, it means supporting population growth, strengthening the workforce, and ensuring that our region is a place where people want to live, work, and raise their families.

Event Highlights:

• Welcoming New Healthcare Workers – Recognizing and celebrating professionals who have joined the region within the past year.

• Healthcare Hero Awards – Honoring individuals and teams who have shown exceptional dedication, innovation, and service in healthcare.

• Community Recognition – A chance for the wider community to say thank you to those who make healthcare possible every day.
