Honoring a generous life

At a recent ceremony held at Mass General West, trustees, staff and friends of the MGH Vincent Obstetrics and Gynecology Service honored the generosity of Joy Kimball, who was a volunteer at both the Vincent Memorial Hospital and the MGH. Kimball spent much of her life in service to the hospital as a member of the Vincent Board of Managers, the MGH Ladies Visiting Committee and the Vincent Club. Yet her greatest gift came after her death: a substantial bequest — the largest ever received by the Vincent.
