My Job, on TV!
Well, not my job, but the people on the front lines of my organization:
Dear Colleagues,
As many of you know, film crews from ABC News spent several months at the MGH last year documenting the experiences and perspectives of staff, patients and families. By the time the crews finished filming in May 2009, they had captured more than 2,500 hours of footage, showcasing the poignant stories that unfold inside our hospital walls each day.
After a year of cutting, editing, polishing and refining, the result is “Boston Med,†an eight-part series that will air this summer, beginning Thursday, June 24 at 10 p.m. Locally, “Boston Med†will be shown on Channel 5, and it will appear on other ABC affiliate stations across the nation and beyond. In addition to the stories about the MGH, the series will feature pieces from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital.
I thought the MGH community would be interested in seeing the series trailer, which was just posted on the ABC website at http://bostonmed.abcnews.com/. I look forward to watching the compelling stories and outstanding caregivers who will be highlighted on Thursday nights throughout the summer. Thanks to all who helped make this very special prime-time opportunity possible. We will be sending you additional information about the series as we get closer to the premiere.
