In This Issue:
BWH Bulletin's year-end issue is a time to highlight BWHers' proudest moments from the past year. We asked you to share one BWH-related memory from 2014 that was meaningful to you, and you offered touching stories about colleagues, patients, families, events and milestones that inspired you. We hope you enjoy these moments.
A Lasting Impression of Warmth and Hospitality
My first day of work as Catering manager at BWH was the week of Halloween 2013. After doing orientation, learning the locations of 60+ meeting rooms and meeting hundreds of associates around the Brigham, I was ready to start 2014.
Besides managing Tower Catering Operations and learning my way around BWH, I had events in my personal life to manage: starting a new life and relocating from Florida, caring for my ill mother and coping with her passing in late April, and being a surgical patient here at BWH in May.
I very much have been able to see BWH from many angles: as an employee, a patient and a person. The two words that describes BWH and 2014 are warmth and family. Through everything, the staff has made me feel very welcomed and has treated me as an old friend. This is and will always be a very lasting impression--one that I am proud to be a part of and very excited about sharing with all, new and old, employees here at BWH.
