Beverly Hospital To Hold Dedication Ceremony for New Main Lobby Coffee Kiosk  

(Beverly, MA) - On Monday, March 29, Beverly Hospital and Danversbank will hold a special dedication and official ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of the new coffee kiosk located in the mail lobby at the hospital. The event, hosted by Northeast Health Foundation-the non-profit organization which builds philanthropic support for Northeast Health System-will honor the former Beverly National Bank for its ongoing, generous philanthropic support of Beverly Hospital.  Beverly National Bank completed its merger with and into Danversbank in mid-February.  As part of the celebration, the Danversbank Courtesy Crew will be on hand to hand out coffee to patients and customers at the new kiosk. 

The new coffee kiosk is located in the main lobby of the hospital just past the emergency department entrance and will feature Starbucks coffee, as well as a variety of hot and iced specialty beverages and teas. An assortment of pastries, muffins, bagels and "grab and go" salads and sandwiches will also be served.  

"We are very excited to see the coffee kiosk come to life at Beverly Hospital," said Don Fournier, executive vice president of Danversbank and former president and CEO of Beverly National Bank.  "The added convenience will mean a lot to the many patients and families that come to the hospital and we are glad to be able to support the community and the hospital in this way."

"We are very pleased to be able to host this special event to recognize Beverly National Bank for their longstanding and generous support of Beverly Hospital," said Susan Samperi, president of Northeast Health Foundation.  "Our patients, families and staff lead very busy lives and the new kiosk will bring an added level of convenience to their overall experience here at the hospital."

The Beverly Hospital coffee kiosk will be open 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. during the week, and weekends and holidays 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. thru 9:00 p.m. in the main lobby at Beverly Hospital.
