as 7th Annual Lyons Ambulance Golf Tourney tees off in
Gloucester
Northeast Health System honored the Lyons family this week with
the dedication of a space at Gorton's Specialty and Cancer Care
Center at Addison Gilbert Hospital. The Lyons family, which owns
Lyons Ambulance Service in Danvers, has been a longstanding
supporter of Addison Gilbert and Beverly hospitals and Northeast
Health System. Lyons Ambulance Service is the longest running
ambulance company in Massachusetts and has been family owned and
operated since 1904.
The dedication took place following the7th Annual Lyons
Ambulance Service Golf Tournament, which was held at the Bass Rocks
Golf Club in Gloucester. Organized by the Northeast Health
Foundation, the golf tournament proceeds benefit the Gorton's
Center at Addison Gilbert Hospital. More than a hundred people
participated in the tournament, which has raised over $300,000
since it began seven years ago.
"The Lyons family has been tremendously supportive of Addison
Gilbert Hospital, Northeast Health System and the Cape Ann
community," said Cindy Donaldson, Vice President of Ancillary
Services and Executive Director of Addison Gilbert Hospital. "Our
hospitals rely on the interest and support of the community, and
Kevin and Lee Ann Lyons have been wonderful supporters and
partners. We are thrilled to be able to honor their commitment with
a room named in memory of their daughter Sarah Ann Jackson."
A plaque in memory of Sarah Ann Jackson will be installed at the
Gorton's Center in the coming weeks. Gorton's Specialty and Cancer
Care Center is a state-of-the-art facility that offers expanded
treatment capacity for patients undergoing cancer-related care, as
well as greater access to specialty services.
The Cancer Care area of the Gorton's Center features private
treatment areas, including 10 infusion stations with views of the
Annisquam River for patients receiving chemotherapy treatment.
