WHEN WE FIGHT WE WIN. Thanks to everyone who protested at MGH and online, called @MassGovernor and our legislators, complained to the DOJ, @AndreaForAG etc. @MGHMedicine has now removed their illegal policy banning patients from asking staff to mask. https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/patient-care/patient-visitor-information/planning-your-visit/mask-policy#accordion-408c4afbeb-item-bf281e8362

Very concerned to see that @MassGenBrigham is telling patients that they "cannot ask staff members to wear a mask"! #KeepMasksInHealthCare https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/patient-care/patient-visitor-information/planning-your-visit/mask-policy#accordion-408c4afbeb-item-1d2bf9fb0f

Text: I'd be more comfortable if my doctor, nurse, or other care provider wore a mask. Can I ask them to? No. You cannot ask staff members to wear a mask because our policies no longer require it. Our system is adhering to current public health recommendations.
