DERBY - Griffin Hospital’s Director of Emergency Medicine Gregory Boris of Woodbridge, and Environmental Services staff member Michael Currie of Naugatuck, were recently honored with the 2013 Spirit of Planetree Awards.
They were recognized at the 2013 Planetree Annual Conference in October in Montreal, Canada.
Griffin Hospital was also recognized at the conference, earning the 2013 Distinction for Leadership and Innovation Award.
Boris and Currie received the “Physician Champion Award” and “Caregiver Award,” respectively, recognizing their commitment to both Planetree and Griffin Hospital's patient-centered approach to providing care.
The
awards were presented by Planetree President Susan B. Frampton in
conjunction with the Planetree Annual Conference.
“The Spirit of Planetree
Award Ceremony is always a highlight of our Annual Conference,” Frampton
said.
“At the heart of the Planetree model are the human interactions between patients and caregivers. With the Spirit of Planetree Awards, we celebrate individuals like Dr. Boris and Michael who, with their compassion, empathy, and simple human kindness, are improving the patient experience, and that is most definitely worthy of recognition."
