After a lifetime of achievements in the health industry Dr. Tom Feasby has been appointed to the order of Canada. 

The appointment was announced on December 29th, 2017 by the Governor General Julie Payette.  

To be appointed is considered one of the country's highest civilian honors and recognizes outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and services to the nation. 

Dr. Feasby was the founding CEO of the Airdrie & Area Health Benefits Co-Op (AAHBC)

AAHBC Board Chair, Stan Grad says "They are pleased others also recognize the contribution Feasby made to health and health care in Canada and beyond".

"Residents of Airdrie and area have, and will continue to, benefit from Tom's leadership with AAHBC as we begin to bring out health and health care research and consultations into the final stages prior to program definition for community-based services and health park design", said AAHBC board member and Airdrie Mayor, Peter Brown. 

Dr. Feasby thinks he is one of many that deserves the award. 

 "I am very pleased and honored, but I always reflect that there are so many worthy people, I am very fortunate to be among those chosen"
