Best of the best recognized

The tradition continued for the ninth year as more than 800 employees were honored with the annual Partners in Excellence (PIE) Awards for their outstanding contributions to the MGH and Partners. The WACC Lobby overflowed at the special ceremony Dec. 1 as 250 individuals and 52 MGH teams were recognized. Many of the recipients had a moment in the spotlight as they walked across the stage to be congratulated by Peter L. Slavin, MD, president of the MGH, and James J. Mongan, MD, president and CEO of Partners, who shook hands with each recipient and gave them a PIE pin.

"It is the spirit and dedication of thousands of loyal members of the MGH community who ensure our continued success," said Slavin. "While we are not able to recognize everyone who was nominated, we truly appreciate everything you do — individually and collectively — to help make the MGH the special place it is."
