Working Together at NEBH

We are proud of all we have accomplished—working together.

Together with Tenley Albright, MD

As the first American woman to win the Olympic gold medal in figure skating and the first woman on the surgical staff at NEBH, Albright was also the first and only person who came to mind when the President’s Award was conceived. We encourage those unfamiliar with this pioneer’s esteemed past to watch the following videos.

Together with Elin Gardiner Schran

Albright’s competitive spirit and passion for everything she does is contagious. Her daughter Elin has taken the lead from her mother and enjoys a successful career on the ice. After experiencing severe hip pain, Elin turned to the only place that could get her back to her graceful and competitive style—NEBH.
