On a glorious day earlier this month, a small number of Anna Jaques Hospital (AJH) leaders, board members and elected officials gathered with members of the Byron J. Matthews family, for a socially-distanced, ceremonial groundbreaking for the Stepping Forward Project.
David LaFlamme, Chairman of the AJH Board of Trustees served as emcee of the event…“Key to the hospital’s long-term strategy is the expansion of primary and specialty care, specifically in orthopedics. This project adds two large operating rooms to house the latest technology and larger surgical teams, as well as renovates the hospital’s main entrance, naming it in honor of longtime AJH volunteers and community leaders, Helen and Byron J. Matthews.”
The highlight of the event included remarks and a video compilation of congratulatory messages about the Matthews family’s dedication to the community, and to AJH in particular.
