Hospital Naming Opportunities

The Emerson Health Care Foundation is delighted to recognize the generosity of its donors by naming areas in Emerson Hospital in their honor. Named gifts demonstrate donor’s commitment, provide essential financial support to the hospital, and inspire others to support outstanding health care for our community.

Gifts may be acknowledged in the name of the donor, or the donor may choose to recognize a loved one, friend or caregiver. For more information, please contact Karl Kussin, vice president of development and chief philanthropy officer at 978-287-3081 or kkussin@emersonhosp.org.
