PrideStar Trinity EMS Donates Medical Aid to Ukraine for a Second Time

By |

PrideStar Trinity EMS is again sending medical supplies to war-torn Ukraine. The company said it donated a large collection of new and gently used emergency medical supplies to the Global Disaster Relief Team for transport to Ukraine to support emergency responders, healthcare providers and humanitarian teams caring for civilians. This is the second humanitarian initiative undertaken by PrideStar Trinity EMS. Last fall, the company donated two fully equipped ambulances through US Ambulances for Ukraine, replacing emergency vehicles destroyed during the conflict and helping ensure Ukrainian first responders could continue providing lifesaving care. Employees gathered at the company’s Lowell headquarters to help load dozens of boxes of medical supplies in advance of their journey overseas. “This donation continues a relationship that began with our ambulance donation several years ago,” said PrideStar Trinity EMS President and CEO David Daly.

PrideStar Trinity EMS Helps Provide AED to Honor Gym Owner’s Legacy

By |

PrideStar Trinity EMS recently joined with the family and friends of the late Edge 24 Hour Private Fitness owner Paul Newt to equip the Dracut gym with an Automated External Defibrillator, or AED. Newt suffered a sudden cardiac emergency last October at his gym and immediately received emergency lifesaving efforts from gym members and first responders before he was taken to the hospital. Despite the efforts, Newt later passed away peacefully after a battle with heart disease. “Paul built more than a gym, he built a community,” said PrideStar Trinity EMS President and CEO David T. Daly. “While nothing can undo the tragedy that occurred here, we hope this AED serves as a lasting reminder of Paul’s impact and his commitment to helping others live healthier lives.

Dana-Farber and Merrimack Health Methuen Seek to Bring Back Radiation Oncology

By |

Merrimack Health Methuen Hospital says it will bring radiation cancer treatment back to its Methuen campus if the state allows. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute said Thursday it plans to file a Determination of Need application with the state Department of Public Health to reestablish a radiation oncology clinic. Officials said the previous radiation oncology center at Methuen Hospital closed in October 2025, following “disruptions related to the Steward Healthcare bankruptcy.” They said reopening it would expand access to radiation oncology services for patients in the Merrimack Valley region. It would be operated by Dana-Farber physicians and staff and revitalize the Radiation Oncology clinic, including upgrading equipment and improving the space. “Partnering with world-renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to restore these critical cancer care services is another example of our commitment to putting patients first as we work to expand access to high-quality care across the region,” said Diana Richardson, president and CEO of Merrimack Health.
