The eighth annual Partners in Excellence Award (PIE) Ceremony at BWH was held in the Cabot Atrium on December 12, and included a surprise appearance from a high profile BWH patient, Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino. Recipients from BWH, Brigham and Women’s Physicians Organization, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute were honored in front of a standing-room only crowd of family, friends and colleagues.
In total, 116 individuals at BWH were honored this year, while 46 team awards were presented. In addition to a framed certificate, each recipient received a Partners in Excellence pin. Mistress of Ceremonies Cheryl Locke, vice president of Human Resources, presented the awards and shared in congratulations with BWH President Gary Gottlieb, MD, MBA. “For all of the individual institutions represented here today, Partners sets the standard of providing the framework and support necessary to compete in today’s and tomorrow’s challenging health care environment,” said Gottlieb. “The Partners in Excellence Award is Partners’ way of acknowledging that it is your efforts on the frontlines of health care that help fulfill its mission. As recipients, know that you collectively ensure the high standards that serve as the cornerstones for BWH and Partners as a whole. Thank you for your work and commitment.”Partners President and CEO James Mongan, MD echoed Gottlieb’s sentiments by congratulating the 2003 Partners in Excellence recipients on their contributions to Partners HealthCare. Mongan added, “As successful as we have been at providing a wide breadth of services, we’ve also been able to demonstrate every step of the way that Partners adds great value to our patients and our community by providing coordinated and integrated care across the Partners network and by building on our historic research and education missions.”The award ceremony was followed by a reception in the Pod B Cafeteria, where recipients, family members, colleagues and friends enjoyed refreshments and conversation.See the enclosed insert for a complete list of 2003 BWH PIE award recipients.
