About the TULIP Award
PCAs, MAs, USTs, surgical techs, mental health workers, and unit secretaries collaborate closely with nurses and clinical teams to deliver excellent care in inpatient units, outpatient practices, perioperative areas, and the Emergency Department. They collect specimens, check vital signs, maintain sterility, and cleanliness of equipment and help patients with other activities, such as eating and hygiene in the inpatient setting. In all settings, these staff treat patients and families with compassion and work to establish trusting relationships.
In recognition of their tremendous contributions, the Department of Nursing at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital launched the TULIP Award in July 2024.
“TULIP” stands for “Touching Unique Lives In Practice.” It celebrates the ways that these team members go above and beyond for their patients and their colleagues.
The Tulip Award at BWFH was adapted from the BWH Tulip award, which originated at the Detroit Medical Center Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan in 2008 by the Retention and Recruitment Committee.
Anyone, including staff members, volunteers, visitors, patients, and families may nominate a PCA, MA, UST, surgical tech, mental health worker, or unit secretary for TULIP Award.
Please help us celebrate our staff by sharing how a PCA, MA, UST, surgical tech, mental health worker or unit secretary made a meaningful difference to you or your loved ones. Nominations may be submitted via the form at the bottom of this page.
