NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Williamstown Rotary Club has donated a fifth portable DVD player and additional movies to North Adams Regional Hospital's Short-Stay Unit, for use by day surgery patients and others.
"We are happy to be able to donate yet another DVD player and more movies for patients to use at the hospital," said Rotary President Linda Sweeney. "I want to thank our Rotarians for taking an interest in this project and for their generosity."
Sweeney, who organized the DVD donation project, and Rotary members Judy Bombardier and two-time past-president Fred Ley presented the DVD player and movies to Short-Stay Unit nurse Robin Simonetti.
The Short-Stay Unit was part of the hospital's expansion and modernization project completed in 2007. The unit includes 16 patient rooms and is host to patients who are having same-day surgery, infusion therapy, and other special procedures.
"We and our patients are so appreciative of the Williamstown Rotary Club’s enthusiasm for this project," said Lou Ann Quinn, director of surgical services at NARH. "Patients who are here with us for several hours will be able to select movies and pass the time enjoyably."
The Rotary Club of Williamstown celebrated 82 years of service to the community on July 27. |
