Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital’s APP in Excellence Award was established to recognize and celebrate the important contributions Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) make to the hospital. APPs include nurse practitioners, physician assistants and certified nurse anesthetists. At a recent celebration, the fourth annual APP in Excellence Award was given to Chief Cardiology APP Jessica Lara, MSN, RN, FNP-BC.
Lara was nominated for the award by Associate Chief of Medicine Erin O’Fallon, MD, MPH, for her excellence in multiple domains, including education, innovation and quality improvement, clinical expertise and teamwork. In her nomination letter, Dr. O’Fallon elaborated on each of these areas:
During BWFH’s Annual APP Celebration, Chief Advanced Practice Provider Johanna Baldassari, MSN, RN, FNP-BC, presented Lara with her award. “This is actually the second time Jess has been nominated for the APP in Excellence Award,” she says. “Her expertise, professionalism and commitment are well known among her colleagues. I am thrilled she was selected this year and it was an honor to present the award alongside our Section Chief of Cardiology.”
Upon receiving her award, Lara says she felt honored. “It is the dedication of my colleagues, APPs and attendings, that make BWFH a special place to work. Thank you to my amazing team for their support, and for sharing their expertise with myself and others,” she says.
