Today is last day to vote for Bravo's 'Best of the Best' awards; nominations for Inspiration Award being accepted until April 26

It's time again for WVU Medicine employees to vote for their favorite Bravo! winners from last year, for the annual "Best of the Best" awards. All 2018 Bravo! award winners are eligible.

Employee votes will determine who will be the "Best of the Best" winners. There will be two winners (one individual and one team) in each of the following award categories:

  • Unsung Heroes
  • Excellence in Patient Care and Service
  • Building a Better Workplace

The voting is open to all WVU Medicine employees. The last day to vote is Friday, April 12.
Here are some voting tips:

  • Only one vote per employee is permitted, but voters can scroll through the nominations and change their vote before finalizing it.
  • Allow yourself enough time to read the stories associated with the nominations; this will take approximately 20 minutes.
  • You will not be able to exit and return to the voting page.
