Lyons Family Honored at Addison Gilbert Hospital

Space at Gorton's Center dedicated in honor of Lyons family 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.
