Staff Initiatives

Through various initiatives, Massachusetts General Hospital engages staff to improve the patient experience and recognizes those who ensure excellence in their everyday actions.

Excellence in Action

The Excellence in Action program seeks to recognize and reward those individuals and/or teams who have provided outstanding service to patients and/or colleagues, and who exemplify the values of Mass General.

Recipients are nominated through email or letters of commendation received by administration. Three to four recipients (individuals and/or teams/departments) are chosen each month, and are recognized by Mass General President Peter L. Slavin, MD.
