Nursing and Patient Care Services Award Programs

Massachusetts General Hospital has a long history of recognizing employees who consistently exemplify the values that have made MGH a world-class institution committed to excellence in patient and family care. The Department of Patient Care Services (PCS) operationalizes its commitment to these values by celebrating and supporting those employees whose daily practice demonstrates excellence in care and services to patients. Partnering with patients and families we have created a comprehensive award and recognition program that celebrates clinical and support staff in their ability to serve patients and families of the MGH. 

The diversity and number of awards and recognition programs within PCS offers the opportunity for clinical and support staff to be acknowledged for qualities such as advocacy, caring, compassion, leadership, creativity, flexibility, and collaboration. These are qualities that enhance and empower our staff in providing the highest quality patient care.
