Physician Assistant receives I CARE Award

Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital’s I CARE Award recognizes staff members from all areas of the hospital who go above and beyond their regular job responsibilities to make BWFH a great place to work and receive care. Edward Innarelli, PA-C, was a recent recipient of an I CARE Award in recognition of his efforts to advocate for his patient.

Innarelli was nominated for his I CARE Award by Pulmonologist and Critical Care provider Robert Tarpy, MD, and ICU Nurse Director Estier Sayegh, MBA, BSN, RN, CNRN, PCCN, CCRN. In their nomination letter, they wrote:

Eddie went out of his way and spent considerable effort in obtaining monoclonal antibodies to treat COVID-19 in his patient. This required contacting the FDA and Regeneron and MGB IRB to get this administered in time. Due to his considerable efforts, the patient was able to receive the treatment within time. Eddie is a great addition to the ICU team, and this exemplifies his commitment to patient care and the ICU as a team. It is my honor and pleasure to have Eddie on our team.
