ELAM's Directors Honored
It has been a big few months for the directors of ELAM. In March, Mary Anne Delaney (ELAM '08), ELAM's associate director, was inducted into the Gold Humanism Society (GHS), and gave the June Klinghoffer Lecture at the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society (AOA)/Gold Humanism Award Dinner, at which Diane Magrane (ELAM '03), Director Emerita, was inducted into the AOA.
And then in April, Nancy Spector (ELAM '10), Executive Director of ELAM, and the I-PASS Study Group Executive Council accepted the John M. Eisenberg Award as the National Award winner for Patient Safety and Quality. The award is given by the Joint Commission and the National Quality Forum.
Congratulations to our directors (and ELUMs!)
on these exceptional achievements!
