Robert Kraft on behalf of the entire New England Patriots organization on the death of team physician Dr. Mark Price (1972-2024):
It is with deep sadness that we learn of the passing of Dr. Mark Price, a valued team physician, following a brave battle with cancer.
Dr. Price became the Patriots’ Chief Physician and Medical Director in 2016 and possessed exceptional expertise. His contributions to the health and well-being of our players were invaluable and his commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of his work.
Not only did he serve the Patriots, but he was also a Patriot as a Captain in the US Navy Reserve. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his service in combat operations in Afghanistan.
Dr. Price was an orthopedic sports medicine surgeon at Mass General Brigham Sports Medicine. He earned his MD from Harvard Medical School, further solidifying his expertise and commitment to the medical field.
His efforts extended beyond the football field, as he impacted the lives of countless people through his medical practice and community involvement.
We extend our deepest condolences to Dr. Price’s family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time. His legacy will live on through the many lives he touched and the lasting impact of his work.
