Boston, MA Logan Gaddar, a superintendent at Turner Construction Company, is set to run the 2025 Boston Marathon, not only as a personal achievement but also as a mission to raise critical funds for Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a founding member of the Mass General Brigham health care system.
Logan’s dedication to MGH goes beyond fundraising as he is currently supporting construction of the hospital’s new Phillip and Susan Ragon Building, a project that will redefine patient care. The building is scheduled to open in two phases, in 2027 and 2030. When complete, it will feature 482 single-bed inpatient rooms, allowing MGH to address growing demands for high quality care and create a more comfortable, efficient and positive healing environment for patients and families. The new Ragon Building will also enable MGH to decommission outdated spaces and convert existing double patient rooms into single patient rooms, helping to alleviate capacity challenges in the Emergency Department and inpatient units.
As a key figure in the Ragon Building project, Gaddar manages field schedules, collaborates with trade partners, and ensures the highest safety standards are upheld. Among his major responsibilities is the construction of a pedestrian bridge connecting the new Ragon Building to existing hospital facilities. This bridge will streamline hospital operations by providing a seamless connection between buildings, allowing patients, visitors, and staff to travel indoors with ease, reducing traffic congestion and enhancing the overall patient experience.
“I am most excited about celebrating the hard work of our tradesmen and women and witnessing the immediate and long-term benefits this project will provide to patients,” said Gaddar. “I am incredibly proud to be working on the Ragon Building, which will be a cornerstone for the future of cancer care and heart and vascular care at Mass General Brigham, significantly expanding treatment options and improving patient outcomes.”
Gaddar’s commitment to MGH is deeply personal. His daily interactions with patients near the construction site have given him firsthand insight into the hospital’s life-saving work, strengthening his resolve to contribute beyond the construction site.
As a member of the Mass General Marathon Team, Logan is fundraising for the team’s three signature causes: pediatric cancer research and treatment, veterans’ services at Home Base and emergency response. His unique role in building the very structure that will shape the future of patient care makes his participation in the marathon especially meaningful.
