Celebrating our health heroes across Medway

Our A Better Medway Awards celebrate our shining stars and success stories in the public health sector.

The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has created huge challenges for many of our health services.

Our staff and partners worked together to help combat the spread of the virus to protect our communities. It really has been a time like no other.

There are many individuals, community initiatives and health services that help improve Medway’s public health.

This year’s health awards celebrate those people and services who go above and beyond to help improve the health and wellbeing of Medway residents.

A Better Medway Awards 2019
