Go Pats ...

Katherine Mulligan of MGH Internal Medical Associates was one of 20 lucky MGHers to win this week's raffle for tickets to the highly anticipated playoff game Jan. 10 with the New England Patriots against the Tennessee Titans. Because of the longstanding relationship with the Patriots providing care for the team under the direction of Bert Zarins, MD, of MGH Orthopædics, 40 tickets were offered to MGH employees as a raffle prize — two tickets for each of 20 winners. Each winner also recieved an MGH scarf to keep them warm during Saturday's game. According to Sunayana Jhalni Dyer of MGH Human Resources, there was an overwhelming response to the raffle offer — approximately 1,400 employees replied within one minute of the e-mail message that was sent Jan. 6. A total of 3,893 submissions were recieved. Above, Mulligan receives tickets from Jeff Davis, senior vice president for Human Resources.
