Rick Baillargeon recently celebrated his 1-year Kidneyversary, a milestone hard-earned after 2 years on dialysis and a long health journey.

From battling COVID complications and dialysis fatigue to receiving a living donor kidney from a friend-of-a-friend, Rick's story is one of resilience, deep gratitude, and second chances.

“Every time I sing with my band or run on the beach with my grandson, I remember how far I’ve come. Today is a gift, that’s why they call it ‘the present.’” As we begin the new year, we honor Rick, his donor, and the entire transplant team for making stories like this possible.

Through music, personal care, sharing family photos, and reading letters aloud, Anna helped lift the patient’s spirits and completely transformed their experience.

Thank you, Anna, for making such a meaningful difference through kindness and personalized care. Well deserved!

Francis Wong is proud to run the 2026 Boston Marathon® presented by Bank of America with Team BILH in support of Lahey. After being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib) in 2001, Francis underwent a series of procedures at Lahey. Thanks to the skill of his care team, he has been free of AFib for 20 years.

The lifechanging treatment he received allowed him to reclaim his life and accomplish more than he ever thought possible, completing 15 marathons and two ultramarathons. The Boston Marathon will be his final World Marathon Major, and he is honored to dedicate this milestone to Lahey in gratitude to the team that empowered him to achieve these goals.

After participating in Lahey’s Summer Junior Volunteer Program, Jackson Chen returned to school inspired to give back and formed Code Care, a student club dedicated to supporting healthcare workers. Jackson, along with Ivy Qian, represented Code Care and surprised our 5C ICU/CCU staff with heartfelt gifts and handmade cards created by their fellow club members.

Through bake sales and donations, these students worked diligently over many months to collect and purchase thoughtful items such as fluffy socks, candles, hand creams, crocheted daisies, and a variety of snacks. Our staff were so touched by the beautiful artwork and kind messages that every single one is now displayed in the breakroom for all to enjoy.

Thank you Code Care Club, for bringing smiles and appreciation to 5C! 💙
