On Saturday, August 23rd, I had the honor of attending and speaking at a very meaningful LifeFlight landing zone dedication on Center Hill Road in Weld. The event was organized by Brent Daugherty as a heartfelt tribute to his late wife, Caren Mahoney Daugherty and as a beacon of hope for future medical responses in the Weld area.

It was deeply moving to see so many come together in her memory, including representatives from the Franklin County Regional Communications Center, Weld Fire Department, Maine EMS, LifeFlight of Maine, Franklin Search and Rescue, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office with Lt. David Rackliffe, and Franklin County Commissioner Skolfield for the Weld District.

This dedication not only honored Caren’s life and legacy, but also highlighted the strength and commitment of our community partners who work tirelessly to keep Franklin County safe. We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a special moment of remembrance and unity. Thank you, Mr. Daugherty for your generosity of the invite and doing what you're doing to give back to a deserving community.
