VANCOUVER, BC - (Marketwired - November 03, 2016) - Nurse Next Door was named winner in the Healthcare Services category of the 23rd Pacific EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ awards program during a gala held on September 30th in Vancouver, BC. Cathy Thorpe, President and CEO of Nurse Next Door, along with Co-founders Ken Sim and John DeHart, were awarded for their influence on the North American healthcare landscape.

"This award honours our entire team and our mission to redefine the future of home health care," says Thorpe. "We are creating waves in the industry through our leadership and culture, and we will continue to do so because complacency is not in our DNA."

"Nurse Next Door has always been a bold and disruptive brand," says DeHart. "But it is because of Cathy's detailed approach that this concept has been amplified across our North American markets."
