In recognition of her dedication to improving care for the neediest patients, Tess Panizales, MSN, RN, quality program manager for the Center for Surgery and Public Health, was the first recipient of the Asian/Pacific Islander Heritage Award in the Department of Nursing.
“Tess is a most deserving recipient of this honor,” said Patrice Nicholas, DNSc, MPH, APRN-BC, director of Global Health and Academic Partnerships in the Center for Nursing Excellence. “Her enthusiasm, energy and passion for helping to improve the care of those in need around the world are inspiring to us all.”
Panizales, a native of the Philippines, received the award in April during a celebration at BWH that featured an Asian-style buffet and a guest speaker, Lin Zhan, PhD, RN, dean of Nursing at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy.
