Nominations are available for two recognition awards originating from the remembrance and impression of one of BWH’s most treasured leaders, the late Dennis Thomson, former vice president of Public Affairs, who was known by his peers as “the conscience of BWH.”
The Thomson Leadership Award is presented to a staff member who exemplifies leadership as defined by Thomson. Awardees receive up to $2,500 to attend a leadership program of their choice. Past recipients include Christian Arbelaez, Janet Razulis, Nawal Nour, Dot Goulart, Paula McNichols, Mary Lou Moore, Nancy Hickey and Maria Damiano.
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.
The Leadership Award recipient and the Compassionate Care Scholarship recipients will be honored March 26, at 4 p.m., in the Bornstein Amphitheater. This year’s keynote speaker is John Auerbach, commissioner for the Commonwealth’s Department of Public Heath, and, for nine years prior to that, former executive director of the Boston Public Health Commission.
