Hopkinton Couple Supports Milford Regional Building Campaign

 

August 18, 2014 — The Milford Regional Medical Center Foundation officially recognized this week news of a $100,000 leadership gift from Vascen J. and Pamela Bogigian to support the construction of a new emergency department, intensive care unit and private patient rooms.  The gift is part of $18.2 million the capital campaign has already raised towards a goal of $25 million.

 

 “There are few people in the community as dear to all of us at Milford Regional Medical Center (MRMC) than the man we call “Bogie,” says John Burns, Chairman of Excellence as well as the Board of Trustees of Milford Regional.  “Some years ago, Vascen Bogigian retired from his construction management company and felt strongly he needed to undertake some meaningful work, and we’re so grateful for his decision.  He started as a volunteer with MRMC working on our Mélange Gala committee, and has now served on our Foundation Board for more than five years.  In fact, Bogie’s connection with MRMC is life-long.  He was born here, and both his parents have been treated at the hospital. 

 

“Very importantly, he played a key role as chairman of the Building Committee in preparation for the transformative project underway on our campus right now.  It is no surprise he has backed up all that work with a generous gift to Excellence as we move forward toward our $25 million goal.  We are appreciative for the Bogigians’ commitment, their endless energy and enthusiasm, and for the countless ways they support this Medical Center.”

Mr. Bogigian moved on from his construction company to become an independent real estate consultant.  He lives in Hopkinton with his wife, Pam, and is active in that community as well, serving as a member of the Hopkinton Chamber of Commerce. 

 

Excellence is supporting a major capital initiative that will result in a new emergency Department, intensive care unit and private patient rooms.  The new two-story structure will more than double the size of the current ED from 30 to 52 private treatment rooms, increase the number of patient rooms in the ICU from 10 to 16 expanding their size to accommodate the latest technology, and add a 24-bed private room unit with the intent to convert all hospital patient rooms to private.

 

Milford Regional Medical Center, Inc. is a comprehensive healthcare system featuring affiliations with Boston Children’s Hospital, UMass Memorial Health Care and the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center.  The 145-bed, nonprofit, acute-care facility serves a region of 20-plus towns.

Gaga Over Game at the Y's Open House

August 17, 2014 — The YMCA Outdoor Center in Hopkinton held an open house today, featuring the ropes course, archery, Smores, both indoor and outdoor climbing walls, as well as the ever popular Ga-ga, a dodge ball type of game that allows no hits above the knees. Rule violations are shouted out by players in and out od the octagon, and non-compliant violators are admonished by watching parents — at least the ones not playing themselves. Ga-ga, described as meaning touch, touch in Hebrew by Wikipedia, is said to have originated in Israel, has been popular at Jewish day camps, and has taken the general camp world by storm over the last few years. Hitting the ball with an open, but not cupped hand is allowed, and anyone hitting the ball out of the pit is out. It is a game, it has been said, where children teach their parents how to play, instead of the other way around.

        

  Inside of the Y's athletic center, young and old enjoyed the climbing wall. Mouse-over the image below to see the photo of fearless 8 year-old Nicholas Lombardo zoomed in.
