Congratulations to our very own Dr. Valerie Robichaud on receiving the WBN's 2025 Annual Member, Game Changer Award! Dr. Robichaud's incredible initiative, teamwork, dedication and commitment is not only evident in her work with the WBN, but also as a wonderful colleague whose positive impact is deeply felt by our patients and community.

🚀 Congratulations to our 2025 Game-Changer Award Recipient 🚀

Dr. Valérie Robichaud, CURAVITA

The Game-Changer Award honours a WBN member who has gone above and beyond, bringing innovation, inspiration, and impact to our community—and this year, that member is Valérie Robichaud.

Valérie is a steady, reliable, and engaged volunteer. As an Ambassador and Membership Committee member, she brings openness, thoughtfulness, and a welcoming presence to every event. She leans in wherever needed, offering support in both small and major ways, consistently making a difference throughout the year.

Her standout contribution this year was with the BYA Gala Committee. Even joining later than others, Valérie immediately took on the critical tasks of liaising with the décor vendor, fulfilling venue visits, and executing the 2025 BYAs Reveal and Revel event. Her leadership and dedication were instrumental to the gala’s success and the experience of our finalists.

Valérie, thank you for your innovation, initiative, and steady support—congratulations!
