Heywood Healthcare announced two capital campaign pledges totalling $375,000, according to statements from the Gardner-based hospital system.
Fitchburg-based Workers Credit Union has pledged $250,000 to the Heywood Healthcare ‘Fulfilling Our Promise’ Capital Campaign, which is focused on three major capital projects. Those include construction of a new emergency department and outpatient medical office building at Athol Memorial Hospital, which shares administration with Heywood; the expansion and modernization of the Heywood Hospital Surgical Pavilion, and the development of the Quabbin Retreat, a new substance abuse and mental health treatment facility in Petersham.
Meanwhile, GFA Federal Credit Union based in Gardner pledged $125,000 to support the Quabbin Retreat project through the same fundraising campaign, according to Heywood. The 75,000-square-foot facility will open in three phases.
