Dear Friends,
The entire Massachusetts General Hospital community continues to
mourn the tragic death of one of our most respected and loved cardiologists,
Dr. Brian McGovern.
In the weeks since the shocking and senseless events of April 8,
we have heard from many of Dr. McGovern’s colleagues and patients,
expressing their heartfelt sympathy and deep affection for this
extraordinary physician and friend who cared for people with such
exceptional expertise and kindness, and who touched all our lives
in so many ways.
Many of you have contacted our office inquiring about how you might
do something tangible to help Dr. McGovern’s children. With
that in mind, we have established the McGovern Family Fund. This
Fund will be placed in the trusteeship of Brian’s wife, Anne,
to be used to help meet the financial needs of the McGovern family.
We hope that you will contribute generously toward ensuring a secure
future for Brian’s daughters as a tribute to the selfless devotion
he offered to all his patients and colleagues during his more than
two decades of service at MGH.
Your contribution should be made payable to: McGovern Family Fund
(acct# 9420779322) and sent directly to:
Fleet Bank
The McGovern Family Fund
165 Cabot Street
Beverly, MA 01915
On behalf of all of us who worked closely with Brian over these
past 23 years, we thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Ruskin, M.D.
On behalf of all of the members of the MGH Cardiac Arrhythmia
Service.
