Workers Credit Union Donates $100,000 to Hospital Emergency Room Expansion Project
Workers Credit Union has donated $100,000 to the UMass Memorial HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital Emergency Room expansion initiative on the Leominster Campus.
"We can't thank Workers Credit Union enough for this very generous donation. It is heartening that the credit union recognized our goal to provide a state-of-the-art environment for our caregivers to deliver compassionate, quality care to every patient," said Deborah Weymouth, president/CEO of UMass Memorial HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital.
"As part of our charitable donations, this pledge over 5 years will benefit our entire community by providing much needed space and resources for exceptional healthcare delivery", said Sandra Sagehorn-Elliott, executive vice president, chief operating officer of Workers Credit Union.
The regional hospital in Leominster plans on expanding its 24 treatment rooms to 37, contained in 22,600 feet. According to the hospital, in addition to more rooms, it will be configured to include new triage areas, more privacy for patients, and secure private behavioral health space.
It is anticipated that the $37.3-million project will be completed in 2019.
