Winchester Hospital has been given $2 million

to establish a permanent endowment to

support and expand the hospital’s lactation

program for the more than 2,000 mothers

who give birth at the hospital each year. It is

one of the largest gifts in the hospital’s history.

The donors, who wish to remain

anonymous, made the gift so

that Winchester Hospital

can ensure that mothers

give their infants the

best start by nursing

their babies and having

plenty of support to do

so, even after they leave

the hospital.

“We are incredibly grateful for such a generous

gift,” said Richard Weiner, MD, the hospital’s

CEO and Chief Medical Officer. “The maternity

program at Winchester Hospital focuses on

keeping moms and babies safe and healthy,

as we encourage and teach new parents the

importance of skin-to-skin contact, best

safe sleep practices and the

benefits of breastfeeding. This

endowment will allow us

to grow our lactation

program, providing

more services to

our patients.”

Moving Forward With Philanthropy

M mentumWinchester Hospital Receives $2 Million

2

The Woburn-based Cummings Foundation is

giving $1 million to Lahey Health over the next

three years to facilitate access to behavioral

health care in community settings.

“This generous gift will enable us to more than

double the number of clinicians embedded in

primary care practices throughout the Lahey

Health network, expand our Student Assistance

Program and offer care to thousands more

people in the communities we serve,” said Hilary

Jacobs, President, Lahey Health Behavioral

Services (LHBS).

With the Cummings Foundation grant, Lahey

Health will be able to add behavioral health

clinicians to six primary care practices, bringing

the total to 17 locations. This will reduce the

stigma around mental illness and make it

easier to access care. “Some patients are more

comfortable seeking care in a place where they

receive their routine care,” said Patrick Aquino,

MD, chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine

at Lahey Health.

The Cummings grant will also support the Student

Assistance Program, a school-based program

operated by LHBS in four public schools in Beverly,

Ipswich, Gloucester and Danvers. Mental health

counselors from LHBS are embedded in each

partner school, where they provide counseling

and other services to students who experience

academic, social or behavioral challenges.

Gift From Canadian

Couple Trains Emergency

Providers

For Earl Brewer and Sandy Kitchen-Brewer, traveling from their home in

New Brunswick, Canada, to Lahey Hospital & Medical Center is well worth

the trip. As participants in the Lahey Executive Health program, they

“appreciate all the care [we] can receive in just one day at Lahey,” Earl noted.

When Lahey approached the couple about an opportunity to fund trauma

education through the Lahey Clinic Canadian Foundation (LCCF), Earl

and Sandy thought it was a good fit. They donated $250,000 through the

Brewer Family Foundation to support the purchase of two human patient

trauma simulators, as well as hands-on training of more than 250 physicians

and nurses with the simulators and actors posing as patients.

“When we saw the new technology involved in simulation training, it

really sparked our interest,” said Sandy, who sits on the board of LCCF.

She is particularly interested in the foundation’s support of cross-border

collaborations among Lahey staff and health care professionals in Canada.

Byrneses Give $625,000 to Beverly, Addison Gilbert John Byrnes has a long history with Addison Gilbert Hospital, starting with treatment for a

broken arm at age 5 in 1948. More recently, when he made an emergency visit to the hospital

for the treatment of a heart problem, he and his wife, Mollie, were so happy with his care

that they decided to give a $150,000 challenge grant to the hospital’s cardiology suite in 2015.

Now, through the Tower Family Fund, they have given an additional $625,000 to Addison

Gilbert and Beverly hospitals. Some $500,000 will be used for capital improvements, and

another $125,000 is earmarked for cancer services at both hospitals.

“We want to be part of a group of people that helps strengthen our local hospitals,” Mollie

said. “Not only is it important for the community, but we’re all going to need to use them

sooner or later!”

First Steps Project Raises Money for

Mother Baby Care Parents and grandparents who buy

First Steps plaques in honor of a

baby born at Winchester Hospital

are doing more than honoring

their newborn – they are funding

enhancements to the Mother Baby

Unit and Special Care Nursery to

benefit future mothers and babies.

The hallway outside the Mother

Baby Unit is decorated with pearl

and gold plaques featuring baby

footprints and the names and birth

dates of some of the 2,200 babies

who are born at the hospital each

year. So far, the project has raised

$26,000, which has made it possible

to improve the family waiting area

and expand access to the hospital’s

“Baby Box” program.

Colleagues Rally for

Donating to Beverly Hospital is a family tradition for Joanie

and Tim Ingraham, a North Shore couple whose families

have had a long association with the hospital. Tim’s father,

Dr. Franc D. Ingraham, was a neurosurgeon there, and

Joanie gave birth to the couple’s two sons at Beverly.

Generous supporters of Beverly Hospital and Lahey Health

Behavioral Services over the years, the Ingrahams recently

made leadership gifts to help the hospital construct a two-

story maternity pavilion. The planned building will house

Beverly’s signature service, which provides comprehensive

specialty care for mothers and their newborns. The hospital

delivers nearly 2,400 babies each year — more than any other

hospital on the North Shore — and demand is climbing.

The Ingrahams believe having a strong community hospital is

essential. “We have benefited from it, and we want to make

sure others do too,” she said.

academic medical center in Burlington and a 10-bed hospital in Peabody that treat more

than 1 million outpatients and more than 28,000 inpatients a year.
