For Charles Stuppard, of Central Transport Services, working at BWH for the past 45 years has been nothing short of amazing.
"Employees who I used to train have become my supervisors now," he said. "That's very, very nice. We praise the Lord for that."
Stuppard and many other BWHers and guests gathered in Cabot Atrium on June 19 to celebrate the hard work and achievements of employees during the 34th annual Employee Service Awards ceremony, which honors employees who have worked at the hospital in increments of five years. This year, employees with five years of service up through 50 years were honored.
BWH President Betsy Nabel, MD, congratulated BWHers for their commitment and dedication to the Brigham community and its patients.
"Across the Brigham, from patient care to Environmental Services to Research to Food Services, you are committed to making this hospital a true community-a place where you stay for years, strengthening your skills, building relationships and welcoming new members to our family," Nabel said. "Your hard work, commitment and dedication are what make us one of the best hospitals in the world."
During the event, hospital leaders recounted milestones and major events-both at BWH and around the world-that took place at each five-year interval. As an added bonus to the celebration, the crowd tapped their toes and sang along to snippets of the chart-topping songs from those years. Employees celebrating 20 or more years of service were acknowledged by name and welcomed to pose for a photo with Nabel.
The ceremony wrapped up with a standing ovation from the audience for Zoe Wheeler, of Hematology, who was recognized for her 50 years of service at BWH.
