Operation A.B.L.E. awards outstanding MGHers

Four MGH employees were selected as the recipients of the Outstanding Worker Award given by Operation A.B.L.E. (Ability Based on Long Experience) and the Massachusetts Chapter of the AARP. Each fall, the two organizations team up to recognize the state's best employees age 50 and older who go the extra mile, take the time to train and mentor others, have a wealth of knowledge to share and are expert problem solvers. The MGH honorees are Jim Moore of Buildings and Grounds; Barbara Mahoney, RN, of Patient Care Services; John Donovan of Materials Management and Walter Guralnick, MD, of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

"This award is well deserved by these four employees, who are role models for every MGHer of what it means to be an exceptional employee," says Jeff Davis, senior vice president for Human Resources. "I'm particularly proud that our winners this year represent different areas of the hospital, which shows that good employees can succeed in many types of roles here at the MGH."
