It will be your chance to help improve health care in our community.
The 2nd annual Radiothon with Dartmouth General Hospital hosted by Surge 105.1 and Hot Country 103.5 starts at 6 a.m., Friday.
“We’re super excited,” said Steve Harding, CEO and President of the Dartmouth General Hospital Foundation. “It’s going to be a great day here at the Dartmouth General atrium.”
He told our newsroom that the goal is to raise $180,000; up from the $173,000 raised last year.
“We want to support our surgery teams. We’re raising funds for state-of-the-art equipment for orthopedics,” added Harding.
A big part of it, he said, is the surgical equipment needed for EMT procedures.
Eric Whynot, Regional Station Manager at Surge and Hot Country told us a lot of work goes into a day like this, and staff are really looking forward to it.
He said the total raised last year was “phenomenal” but is confident we can pull in a similar amount, if not more.
Whynot added, it’s important for Acadia to do an event like this because the company is very community focused and health care matters to residents.
The Radiothon runs 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday.
