Eastgate Proudly Sponsors Healthcare Hero of the Year

At Eastgate, we believe in celebrating the people who go above and beyond for our Highland communities – the everyday heroes whose dedication, compassion and resilience make a real difference to so many lives.

That’s why we’re incredibly proud to sponsor the Highland Heroes Award – Healthcare Professional Hero of the Year as part of the Highland Heroes Awards 2026, organised by HN Media.

Healthcare professionals across the Highlands work tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to care for others in their moments of greatest need. From hospitals and GP practices to community services and care settings, these individuals show extraordinary commitment, kindness and strength every single day.

It’s been truly inspiring to read the incredible stories behind this year’s finalists. Each nomination highlights not only professional excellence, but also the humanity, empathy and dedication that make our local healthcare heroes so special.

Public voting is now open, and we encourage everyone to take a moment to read the finalists’ stories and cast their vote. By voting, you’re helping to recognise and celebrate those who have made a lasting impact on patients, families and colleagues across the Highlands.

Supporting the Highland Heroes Awards is part of Eastgate’s ongoing commitment to championing local people, organisations and causes that matter to our community. We’re honoured to play a small part in shining a spotlight on the remarkable healthcare professionals who truly deserve to be celebrated.
