Meet Some of Our Friends Lori Shipulski, Etna, NH Four Seasons Sotheby’s Int’l Realty “I delivered two of our children at the Birthing Center. The small-hospital atmosphere is what drew us in the first place. We came back because the staff was warm, caring, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. When I had the chance to give back through the Friends of APD, I enthusiastically jumped at the chance.” Arlene Bettigole, Quechee, VT Retired Red Cross Hospital Account Manager “I am a Friend of APD simply because this special hospital embraces community-oriented health care in the fullest sense and I wish to be a part of this most important step in the future of medicine.” Roney Hoffmann, Thetford, VT Roney Hoffmann Interiors “I became involved with APD through a client in my design business. Over the years, I have made wonderful friends and been involved in many of the volunteer activites that make APD so special.” Claudia Gibson, West Lebanon, NH Former Pediatric Neurologist “People come first here. APD employees and volunteers take a personal interest in their visitors and clients. We find out what we have in common, rather than what separates us.” Jen Daly, Grantham, NH Volunteer in Dickey Medical Surgical Wing “When I was looking for an opportunity to give back, I couldn’t think of a place more deserving than APD. I love the size and sense of community at APD. Now that I get to interact with and observe the caregivers in Med/Surg, I’m even more impressed with the compassion and quality of care that patients receive here.” Dan Moriarty, Lebanon, NH Retired V.A. Social Work Executive “APD has always impressed me as a small community hospital with a focus on meeting the needs of the Upper Valley community. It has always had a good reputation of catering to the unique individual attributes of its patients. The relatively small size allows it to innovate and facilitate policies and programs that would be prohibitive at larger, more bureaucratic facilities.” For more information, please email Liz Swanton, Community Relations & Volunteer Specialist, or call (603) 442-5953. 10 Alice Peck Day Drive Lebanon, NH 03766 (603) 448-3121 FY20 Community Benefits Report FY20 Community Health Implementation Plan FY19 Community Health Needs Assessment NOTICE: Capture RX Date Incident More about APD Career Opportunities Community Health Community Relations Events Friends of APD Give to APD Give with Amazon Smile Harvest Hill Leadership Mission and History Reports Volunteering The Woodlands Patients and Visitors Admissions Bill of Rights Dining Directions and Parking Gift Tree Shop Financial Services Find a Provider Map Medical Records myD-H Patient Experience Privacy Practice Providers by Department Visiting APD Services Dermatology Emergency Services Family Medicine General Surgery Geriatrics Gynecology Internal Medicine Neurosurgery Occupational Health Orthopaedics Pain and Physiatry Pediatrics Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapies Plastic Surgery Podiatry Sleep Health © 2021 Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital • Nomad Communications
