For his role with the Berrigan Local Health Advisory Committee, Mr Taylor has been nominated under the Volunteer of the Year category.
Other nominees are The Parker Family from near Wagga for their involvement in the sentinel chicken program, and Cootamundra based youth band The Little Riverina Band who donate their time in the aged care sector.
Other individual award categories include Nurse or Midwife of the Year, Staff Member of the Year, Allied Health Staff Member of the Year and Volunteer of the Year.
Awards will also be presented for six team award categories - Keeping People Healthy, Excellence in Healthcare Diversity, Enhancing People & Culture, Enriching Customer Experience, Research, and Sustainability & Environment.
There were 48 nominations received across the team and individual award categories, which have now been narrowed down to just a few finalists in each category.
MLHD chief executive Jill Ludford said the awards represent an opportunity to recognise and reward accomplishments of teams and individuals across the district.
“It’s a very exciting time for our organisation as we come together to recognise health staff who have gone above and beyond in their roles within the MLHD,” Ms Ludford said.
"We've seen such high quality and diverse nominations this year, the judging panels really have had a tough time determining the top three in each category.
“The Excellence Awards celebrate the achievements of staff and volunteers for their pursuit of excellence and commitment to improving the lives of patients.”
Winners will be announced at a presentation evening this Friday.
