The employees accumulated more than 6,980 collective years to

well as employees who were recognized most frequently in positive
patient satisfaction letters. These employees were honored for

Picnic, which is attended by more than 550 adults and children;

child after her parent coded in the Emergency Department.
“Our biggest achievement is the atmosphere of warmth that
you have created at The Beth,” Dr. Brennan told the employees. “Walk
down our halls and you will see friends ready to lend support,
to hold a hand, to provide outstanding care, at all times. I am
proud of you, and of the communal sense of enthusiasm and cooperation
at The Beth.”
