Norma Appleyard is retiring at the end of December, having worked at the Brigham for 55 years. Since September of 1951, she served a series of vice presidents and ultimately the director of the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital prior to the merger. More recently, Appleyard staffed the Medical Staff Executive Committee, the Medical Staff Organization and, subsequently, the Physicians’ Council, and she has served with reliable distinction as, in her words, the “Den Mother” for the Medical Staff Reception Center. Above, Chief Medical Officer Andy Whittemore, MD, presents Appleyard with a BWH retirement gift.
