MGH 2013 Transplant Golf Classic Results! The Fourth Annual Transplant Golf Classic was our best by far, raising more than $100,000! Nearly 100 golfers enjoyed a challenging course under very good conditions. Many of them stayed for our evening program which featured remarks by Dr. James Markmann, Chief of Transplant Surgery, Dr. Joren Madsen, Director of the Transplant Center and Dr. Peter Slavin, President of Massachusetts General Hospital. In addition, the audience heard riveting testimonials from two transplant patients themselves—Peter Keating, an altruistic kidney donor, and Brian Primack, who at the time of the event was awaiting a heart transplant (he has since been successfully transplanted!) Peter and Brian’s stories emphasized the life-saving care provided by the MGH Transplant Center and the extraordinary research being conducted that will both increase the number of available organs, and improve the quality of life for transplant recipients. It was a great year for us and now we look forward to planning the next.
