Nominations are being accepted for the Susan and Arthur Durante Award, which recognizes nonphysician staff for their compassion and professionalism in serving cancer patients. Right, Susan and Arthur Durante

Arthur Durante bravely battled Hodgkin's Disease for 34 years, making frequent visits to the MGH until his death last year. Along with his wife, Susan, Durante created the award in an effort to recognize the contributions of MGH staff to the lives and well-being of cancer patients.

Nomination forms are available in all patient care areas, the Gray and Cancer Center information desks and the Cancer Resource Room on Cox 1. Each winner will receive $1,000.

For more information, call Rosemary Chinetti at 724-3118. All nominations must be received by Feb. 16.
