This summer, Butler celebrated two outstanding employees who exemplify the compassion, dedication, and teamwork that make our hospital special.

July’s Employee of the Month, Disleydy Gonzalez, is recognized for creating a safe, clean, and welcoming environment and for the kindness and positivity she brings to every interaction.

August’s Employee of the Month, Danielle McAllister, is honored for her creativity, organization, and dedication as an occupational therapist and teammate. She consistently goes above and beyond to support patients and staff.

We’re grateful to Disleydy and Danielle for all they do for the Butler community each day.

Want to learn more about tau and its role in Alzheimer's disease and other dementias?

MAP Director Dr. Edward Huey recently joined the Alzheimer's Association New England Region's Speaking of Alzheimer's podcast to discuss how tau affects the brain and what new research could mean for earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Twice a year, participants in Butler's ADNI study get a phone call from someone they know well: Priscilla Villa, MS, Memory and Aging Program Research Manager.

Over the years, she's built lasting relationships with the people making Alzheimer's research possible. "This population has so much life experience and wisdom to share, and I am always happy to listen," Priscilla says.

We’re grateful for Priscilla and the care she brings to this important work every day. Read her story in the Summer 2026 issue of Memory Matters magazine: https://hubs.ly/Q04tLlyl0
