For Karen, her generous gifts to NMC Health are far more than financial transactions; they are heartfelt tributes to a place that cared for her late husband, Les, through a long and difficult journey. He was in and out of the hospital, and through every visit, the quality of care and the compassion of the staff made a lasting impression on them both.

She knows her husband would have wanted to see the hospital thrive, a sentiment she now carries forward.

To Karen, the hospital isn’t just a building—it’s a vital part of what makes Newton a great place to live. She sees it as a cornerstone of the
community, serving as a powerful draw for new residents. Her gifts are rooted in her belief in progress and her desire to see Newton continue to grow. “You have to move forward,” she said, and her donations to NMC Health are a powerful step in ensuring the hospital can continue its legacy of care for generations to come.
