Sturdy Memorial Advises Community to Beware of Unauthorized Solicitation

Sturdy Memorial Hospital does not endorse or allow any company, organization, magazine or other publication to use the Hospital's name in direct or telephone solicitation.

With the holidays approaching, this annual warning is issued by the Sturdy Memorial Foundation, Inc., the Hospital's parent organization, which is solely responsible for Sturdy Memorial's fund-raising efforts.

"Anyone who uses the Hospital's name while attempting to solicit donations or gifts does so without authorization,” says Kevin Poirier, the Foundation's Director of Development.  "Those wishing to make a contribution during the holiday season are encouraged to call the Development Office at

508/222-1600.  This will ensure their gift is used for the purpose they intend.”
