Nominations are being accepted until Jan. 6 for two recognition awards that recall the legacy of one of BWH’s most treasured leaders—the late Dennis Thomson, who was widely known by his peers as “the conscience of BWH.” Thomson, BWH’s vice president of Public Affairs, died in 1998 at the age of 49 following a battle with cancer.
The seventh annual Dennis Thomson Leadership Award and Compassionate Care Scholar Awards will be presented March 30, at 4 p.m., in the Bornstein Family Ampitheater. Hilarie Cranmer, MD, MPH, an attending physician in the Division of International Health and Humanitarian Programs in the Department of Emergency Medicine, is the keynote speaker.
The Leadership Award provides up to $2,500 for a staff member who exemplifies leadership as defined by Thomson to attend a leadership program of his or her choice. The Compassionate Care Scholar Awards recognize employees from any discipline who embody the principles of compassion in their daily work and exemplify it most at the bedside of patients. The scholarship awards provide $1,000 as seed money to support projects that benefit BWH patients.
