Many employees bring comfort to patients every day by tending to their clinical needs. But a small group of hospital employees and volunteers recently gathered to bring a different kind of comfort to those who are sick. The group, called the MGH Comforters, share a love and talent for making quilts, and they have made 20 of the special creations for MGH patients and their families. The group displayed their quilts in the Main Corridor April 18 and plans to continue making quilts to bring comfort to MGH patients.
