MGH recognizes third anniversary of Sept. 11

In the three years since the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, there have been many remembrances created – books written, songs sung, monuments built. On the third anniversary of that tragic day when the nation lost so many, MGHers gathered to remember, grieve and recognize that historic day.

The memorial service, sponsored by the MGH Chaplaincy, gave MGHers, patients and their families the opportunity to reflect on the tragedies. The ceremony included chaplains from the many different faiths that are represented throughout the MGH community, and included readings of poetry and prose, as well as reflective music.
The service was teleconferenced to the MGH health centers and the Institute of Health Professions, and a separate gathering was held at CNY.
