An Evening of Recognition and Celebration
The IMPACT PLS Gala is a tribute evening, held in French, dedicated to innovation in primary care, front-line care and social services, alongside PLS in Montreal. It presents the seven PLS Awards and our Tribute Award in an elegant evening blending art, laughter and emotion, to celebrate the innovations and innovators transforming the healthcare system.
An Evening That Brings People Together, Inspires and Celebrates
Transforming the healthcare system takes innovation. The PLS Awards were created to recognize it and propel it forward. The IMPACT PLS Gala is where we do it together, in a room gathered for that purpose. Winners are unveiled, the people behind these projects are celebrated, and you meet the teams who built them. You are there to cheer on what is moving forward, in a flamboyant evening that always keeps a surprise or two in its sleeve.

Celebrating Innovation That Moves Healthcare Forward
The PLS Awards recognize projects that concretely improve access and the optimization of pathways, care and services in primary and front-line care, including social services. Seven categories, one shared requirement: results demonstrated in the field and projects that can be deployed at scale.
Medical Clinic
The clinic, where everything happens day to day. This award recognizes innovations that improve organization, access and the care experience in medical clinics, for patients and teams alike.
AI and Applications
Technology serving those who provide care. This award highlights artificial intelligence solutions and applications that simplify clinical processes and free up time for care.
Social Innovation
When a community’s challenges become solutions. This award rewards projects that address concrete social needs and have a positive effect on local care and services.
Community Pharmacy
The pharmacy, a gateway into the healthcare system. This award honours projects that expand the contribution of pharmacists and bring services closer to the population. It recognizes solutions already at work in day-to-day practice.
Women’s Health
Health care that takes women into account. This award highlights initiatives that improve access, screening, follow-up and care for women’s health.
Preventive Health
Acting before illness settles in. This award celebrates initiatives that help people adopt healthy habits and reduce their risks, through innovative and technology-based approaches.
Healthy Aging
Staying home, healthy, for longer. This award recognizes projects that support aging at home, encourage preventive behaviours and improve access to care and services for older adults and family caregivers, while reducing wait times.
Prix Hommage
An award of a different order. Every year, the gala pays tribute to a remarkable figure whose commitment to health and society has inspired an entire field. The first edition (2026) went to Jeannette Bertrand.
How it works
You submit your application online. A jury then evaluates the projects and selects the two top applications in each category. These finalists are unveiled at a cocktail reception held in their honour. A public voting period of nearly eight weeks then begins. The floor goes to people in the healthcare system and the field, those who use these solutions and see their effect on the ground. The winners are announced at the IMPACT PLS Gala.
Eligibility
To take part, your initiative must be led by an organization established in Canada. It falls within primary care, front-line care or community-based services. Above all, it demonstrates measurable impact.

What winners receive
Winning a PLS Award goes beyond the trophy. It is the start of a year in which the project is brought into the spotlight, then connected. A ticket to the finalists’ cocktail reception on April 16 and to the gala on June 17 will be included. PLS will then showcase the 2027 winners, with video recordings, a feature article and visibility on its social media and other communication channels.
At PLS 2028, they will have privileged access to B2B and outreach activities, so that the connections that grow out of this visibility have a lasting effect.
Partners Committed to Showcasing Innovation
Partnering with the IMPACT PLS Gala means linking your organization to an award category or to the entire evening. It also means supporting the development of innovation and putting your brand alongside the future of healthcare.
Your visibility doesn’t end with the evening. Before, you sit on the jury, and your brand accompanies the call for applications as well as all the promotion around the finalists and the public vote. During, your logo appears on the trophy and in the official photo, and you present your award yourself. After, your brand continues to shine alongside the winners.
The future of healthcare is being shaped here, and companies like yours help shape it.
