The Simulation & Professional Development team came together for a festive “Sims-Giving” celebration, a chance to step away from work and spend quality time as a team. With a 20-pound turkey (expertly provided by our Simulation Tech Specialist, Rich Loomer!) and plenty of shared laughter, it was a joyful reminder of the value of connection, gratitude, and teamwork. 💙

In honor of Pink and Pearl Day, observed on November 7, Lahey colleagues hosted an educational tabling event in the East Lobby to raise awareness for breast cancer (pink) and lung cancer (pearl) - two of the most commonly diagnosed cancers.
We are honored that Governor Maura Healey issued a commendation to Lahey for our work in cancer awareness and education.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this important recognition a reality and for supporting our commitment to cancer prevention, early detection, and high-quality care.
