ADDISON GILBERT HOSPITAL Announces $75,000 Grant
Funds will support capital equipment, help match Dusky Leadership Challenge
On the heels of being awarded a $1.2 million Health Policy Commission CHART grant to build on the successful implementation of its High Risk Intervention team, Addison Gilbert Hospital (AGH) has been awarded a $75,000 capital grant from an anonymous Boston-based foundation. The grant will support capital enhancements and new equipment to improve care for patients and increase clinical excellence in the Cape Ann community.
“As a not-for-profit hospital, Addison Gilbert depends upon contributions like this to invest in our hospital and deliver services to keep our community healthy,” said Cindy Cafasso Donaldson, Vice President, Addison Gilbert Hospital. “We deeply appreciate the philanthropic support that keeps our hospital thriving. This generosity will ensure AGH stays at the forefront of medical care for local patients and residents of Cape Ann.”
The grant is also helping the hospital reach the $350,000 Dusky Leadership Challenge set forth earlier this year by Linzee Coolidge, a trustee of the Dusky Foundation. The Dusky Leadership Challenge raises money for AGH in to invest in new equipment, technologies and programs that will help it keep pace with a rapidly changing health care landscape.
In February, Mr. Coolidge, made an initial $350,000 gift and challenged the community to match it through contributions. The goal of the Dusky Challenge is to raise money for Addison Gilbert Hospital and to encourage leaders from the community to support the hospital.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Boston-based foundation for this grant,” said Rebecca Imperiali, Vice President of Philanthropy at Beverly and Addison Gilbert Hospitals. “It is through the generosity of organizations and individuals in the community, just like this, that AGH has been so successful. The Dusky Leadership Challenge has been a compelling tool for encouraging and inspiring additional contributions for the capital and clinical needs of Addison Gilbert Hospital.”
Hi Joey: Could you possibly tell me where I might get some information on Gloucester artist R. P. Fraser and his paintings? Also artist David Pollack? Many Thanks for any information. John Reardon,Winthrop,Ma.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Comment re: Paintings by Ray Frasier
I remember Ray from the 1950s.. He used to spend summers at McComisky’s on Rocky Neck. His paintings were mostly of sailing vessels I think, although he did a painting of our house (Driftwood Cottage) I think my ex husband’s widow may still have it. He was probably a member of the Rockport Art Assn. They may have info on him.
