“My twenty years of working in the Occupational Therapy department at MGH have been about more than the care of interesting patients and sharing similar interests with colleagues who are deeply committed to patient care, teaching and research. It is my colleagues' constant sincerity, enthusiasm, and collaboration - along with the varied experiences and learning of every day - that make working at MGH rewarding and so much more than just a job."

 – Colleen, Senior OT, Outpatient Service
