Tell Us Your One Shining Moment
As you reflect on 2015, is there one memory that makes you especially proud to call yourself a BWHer? Maybe you recall a touching moment with a patient or family member, or perhaps you witnessed a colleague do something that made you proud. BWH Bulletin encourages you to share your “One Shining Moment” with the Brigham community for our annual year-end issue on Friday, Dec. 18. Email your proudest moment of 2015, along with a related photo of yourself or the team involved, to BWHBulletin@partners.org by Friday, Dec. 11. Shining Moments will be posted on PikeNotes, and a selection will appear in the year-end print issue of Bulletin.

BWH is launching a new program that invites all employees to submit their cost-savings ideas. Ideas that are selected and implemented will be awarded a cash prize.

A cash award will be presented to the employee who submits the selected program name. Email creative suggestions to awebster6@partners.org by Thursday, Nov. 5. Please note: The BWH Massachusetts Nurses Association union has opted not to allow their members to participate.
