Lawrence + Memorial (L+M) Hospital would like to thank Eversource for a recent donation to the Auxiliary of L+M Hospital in support of the Auxiliary’s Celebrate Nurses luncheon. The $1,250 donation – plus additional profits from the luncheon – will result in an upcoming $5,000 gift from the Auxiliary to support the Education Fund at L+M.

The Education Fund provides tuition support for caregivers who are advancing their careers, including those earning specialty certifications in different medical fields.

We offer a big thank you to Eversource and the Auxiliary for ensuring that our caregivers continue gaining medical expertise to best care for all our patients.

Our Occupational Health colleagues at Pequot Health Center gave back to the community recently with a two-hour volunteer cleanup of Bluff Point State Park in Groton. “We wanted to do something positive for the community that we work so closely with,” said Stefanie Peterson, MSPHN, RN, supervisor of Occupational Health at Pequot. “We also wanted to promote employee health by getting employees and their families outside and active.” The crew chose National Trails Day to clear the trails at the state park which is sometimes littered due to a “carry in-carry out” park policy. One young participant was able to earn her Girl Scout community service badge. Thanks to everyone who helped with the cleanup. Keeping Bluff Point clean is a healthy gift to all who enjoy its beauty.

Lawrence + Memorial (L+M) Hospital had the honor of hosting Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-2) for a timely discussion about the essential role Medicaid plays in delivering life-saving care across southeastern Connecticut and beyond. Yale New Haven Health is the largest Medicaid provider in Connecticut.

Congressman Courtney met with L+M President Rich Lisitano, Chief Medical Officer Oliver Mayorga, MD, Chief Nursing Officer Shannon Christian, RN, and Craig Mittleman, Chief Medical Director of Emergency Services. He also toured the Emergency Department and ICU, speaking directly with clinical staff about the real-world impact to patients and hospitals of Medicaid funding.

As policy debates continue in Washington, we thank Congressman Courtney for his leadership and for standing with healthcare providers to protect access to care for the patients and families who rely on it.
