Trevor Gallant - 2023 Hidden Hero Award

Meet Trevor Gallant, recipient of the 2023 Hidden Hero Award.

This award is given to a QCH staff member who has quietly and consistently been supporting the organization, albeit perhaps more in the background. This award is presented to someone who represents all our QCH values – Collaboration, Accountability, Innovation and Respect – and lives them daily.

Trevor is a Porter in our Emergency Department. Here is what his team said:

“If there is one individual who is an ambassador for this organization, it is Trevor.”

“I think everyone should have the opportunity to spend a shift with him. Trevor is always pleasant, kind, hard working, and willing to go the extra mile.”

“When you are with Trevor you feel like you are the most important person in the world at that moment.”

“Every time he comes to porter a patient, drop off or pick up equipment his words are heartwarming. He will say 'At your service', or 'Hi, my name is Trevor, I am a porter here at Queensway Carleton Hospital.’ His words are predictable and musical.”

“I once overheard him doing an orientation shift with a new employee and telling them how porters are key individuals in the organization and how important it is to have a good attitude and establish a rapport with the whole team. He does his job with passion and commitment, with no expectation of anything in return. I wish we all had a little Trevor in us!”

Congratulations, Trevor!
