The nurses at Beth Israel Lahey Anna Jaques Hospital – along with all the caregivers there – have always been there for their community. They braved COVID, and they have persevered as staffing has dwindled. We need the community’s hospital to be strong and well-staffed and resourced. Nurses know what they need to take care of us. We ask that the executives at BI-Lahey Health listen to the front-line caregivers and get them what they need.

It is with deep regret that I announce the death of Brother Mike McGreevey. Mike was a service rep formerly at the Crosspoint Towers in Lowell. He recently left the company following a lengthy absence, so his passing, while not unexpected, is no less sad. Mike will be missed by his family, friends, and co-workers. Please keep them in your prayers. Calling hours are on Thursday, November 30th, from 4-7pm, at the Kenneth H. Pollard Funeral home at 223 Lawrence St. in Methuen. His funeral mass will be held on Friday, December 1st beginning at 11:00 am at Saint Monica Catholic Church, 212 Lawrence Street, Methuen, MA. Burial will follow at Elmwood Cemetery in Methuen.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, 125 Nashua Street, Suite 540, Boston, Ma. 02114-1101.
Again, please keep Mike, his family, and friends in your prayers.
