Saluting employee excellence at the annual PIE Awards

At the MGH, the month of December brings one of the hospital's favorite traditions Ð the annual Partners in Excellence (PIE) Awards ceremony. Now in its 11th year, the PIE Awards program honors employees across Partners HealthCare for their outstanding contributions to the MGH and Partners. This year's standing room only ceremony was held Dec. 19 in the WACC Lobby with more than 1,875 MGH employees receiving awards. James J. Mongan, MD, president and chief executive officer of Partners HealthCare; Peter L. Slavin, MD, president of the MGH; and Jeff Davis, senior vice president for Human Resources; were all on hand to congratulate the recipients.

"Without the spirit and dedication of the thousands of members of the MGH community, we would be nowhere," said Slavin. "Each of you plays a vital role in ensuring the continued success of the MGH, whether it is by caring for patients directly at the bedside, working in administrative and support roles to ensure the hospital runs smoothly, researching the latest medical breakthroughs or educating tomorrow's health care leaders."
