Quilts help comfort patients

Colorful quilts brightened up the Main Corridor when the MGH Comforters - a
volunteer group of MGH employees and volunteers who enjoy quilting - displayed their creations Oct. 21. The quilts were then donated to the MGH Northeast Proton Therapy Center to be given to pediatric patients with cancer and their siblings. The group, which meets a couple of times each month, made 41 quilts to bring comfort to those who are sick and their families.
