Endowed Chairs and Scholars

Endowed positions are integral to supporting our clinical and professional development programming to promote a culture of life-long learning. Chairs and scholars also help us to fund advancements in care delivery and support research that drives nursing and patient care practice. Collectively, these efforts will raise the bar on care excellence resulting in better patient outcomes.

Support for our nurses and health professionals will move their innovative ideas from a concept to a product or new solution that improves patient care. Several staff members have developed creative ideas that are now patent pending because of these resources.

Nursing and Patient Care Services represents the largest group of clinicians caring for patients at Massachusetts General Hospital — more than 7,000 professionals across seven care disciplines, including nurses, occupational, physical and respiratory therapists, speech/language pathologists, social workers and spiritual caregivers.

Together, their relationship-based approach to care means they get to know each patient and family to provide collaborative care that is tailored to the patient’s unique needs. In addition, our nurses and health professions teams maintain the highest clinical standards, continually build new skills and knowledge through education, and translate the latest evidence-driven research into practices.
