BERLIN — The Great Northwoods Community Foundation, a collaboration formed by Androscoggin Valley Hospital and Coos County Family Health Services, recently contributed $20,000 to the city of Berlin in support of the city’s advancement of recreation and wellness related projects. In addition, the foundation made a donation of $20,000 to the town of Gorham for the same purpose.
“On behalf of the foundation, we are pleased to be able to further these important initiatives by contributing to projects that are intended to improve the overall health of the people in our community,” said Mike Peterson, president and CEO of AVH, and board chair of the Great Northwoods Community Foundation. Ken Gordon, CEO of CCFHS, who also serves as the GNCF Board Secretary added, “These contributions are ideal examples of why this foundation was developed — to address our community’s social determinants of health.”
