PAs Recognized for Outstanding Work

BWH held its first ever Physician Assistant Recognition Dinner in early October to honor the efforts of the 75 outstanding physician assistants (PAs) as part of a National PA Recognition Day.

“This wonderful recognition shows the hospital cares about and appreciates their physician assistants,” said Nicole Koobatian, director of physician assistant services and PA in Vascular Surgery, who explained that the number of PAs at BWH is rapidly increasing as the position plays a critical role in supporting the medical team with efficient and effective patient care.

“Physician assistants are an integral component of the health care team at BWH, and this event provides an opportunity for us to recognize their critical contributions to our patients and staff,” said Andy Whittemore, MD, chief medical officer, who spoke at the dinner.
