As part of our ongoing diversity effort here at the hospital we have placed these posters on the campus because we, along with the YWCA's Stand Against Racism, are taking a stand against racism. Communities of Care, our partner in many diversity initiatives, reached out to the Leominster and Fitchburg High Schools and asked the kids from their Psychology Club to create posters to show their support. They did a great job and a lot of our employees commented on how beautiful the posters are and noted the importance of this movement.
We would like to thank the YWCA, Communities of Care, Youth & Family Center, and the students for their help in support of this important stand!

The drive will be held at 1 Caldwell Place in Fitchburg, MA. The testing for bone marrow involves rubbing the inside of your mouth with a cotton swab. Please help spread the word so that we can help out those in need.

Just a reminder to all of our youth, families, and friends that this weekend we are "springing" forward! That's right - remember to set your clock an hour ahead this Saturday night before you go to bed. This is also a GREAT time to replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Have a lovely weekend!
