Auxiliary Beautifies Hospital Courtyard with $1,600 Pergola

Machias – At Down East Community Hospital in Machias, staff and patients alike are thankful for the Auxiliary and the many hours of work they have put into beautifying the courtyard over the years. Not only do they weed, plant, and care for beautiful flowers, but they also recently donated an amazing pergola!

CEO Steve Lail, “Over the years the Auxiliary has made the courtyard a beautiful, calming area; we had no idea they could make it even better! The pergola adds to the beauty of the courtyard and provides much needed shade from the sun so the people who spend time there can do it more comfortably. We appreciate the Auxiliary’s continued commitment to the hospital, staff, and our patients. The DECH Auxiliary members are remarkable, and they continue to amaze us; we are grateful for them and all they do.”
