You are so right, Joe!

A note from Joe Castro, manager in our trauma program:

I wanted to share several pictures with you that capture the beautiful gardens that surround the West Campus. The one above is of Michael Trzcinski and James Robblee – two of the many maintenance crew members responsible for keeping the medical center looking great! I see them often about the campus – always busy in the discharge of their duties. I told them what a great job they have consistently done to keep BIDMC looking good throughout the calendar year.

What you don’t see in these pictures are the MANY patients and visitors who take notice of the flowers. I walk between the Lowry building and the west campus buildings several times during the day. On countless occasions I see people react to colorful plantings either by taking pictures, stopping to smell the flowers, or simply sitting amongst them as a form of respite while taking a break from visiting a family member admitted to the ER or inpatient wards.

Michael and James spoke highly of the support given to them by their department heads, further mentioning the commitment of the medical center to maintain the quality and variety of the flower beds and their aesthetic value. Theirs is a job well done and I wanted to take this moment to ensure that these gentlemen, as well as others within their department, get the credit that they truly deserve!
