The Fraternal Order of the Eagles donated $7,000 to Concord Hospital Trust to support the pediatric department and the Regional Early Activation Care Team.
Two thousand dollars of the gift came from the Eagles' Jimmy Durante Children's Fund and will partially fund the purchase of a much-needed treatment table for Concord Hospital's recently renovated pediatric patient care unit.
The remaining $5,000 came from the Eagles' Max Baer Heart Fund and will support REACT, a collaborative effort of Concord Hospital, Lakes Region Healthcare and Laconia Fire Department. The REACT initiative enables Laconia Fire Department to wirelessly transmit EKG data from their vehicle to the nearest emergency department for immediate interpretation and recommendation for transport to the most appropriate medical facility. For patients experiencing myocardial infarction (heart attack) this equipment provides life-saving measures.
