ST. JOHNSBURY, VT. (June 12, 2023) – Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital (NVRH) received a donation of 80 blankets from Saint J Subaru, which partnered with The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) as part of the Subaru Loves to Care program, on June 6, 2023.

This is the 8th consecutive year that Subaru has partnered with LLS. Since 2016, Subaru has delivered nearly 300,000. Also delivered with the blankets were messages of hope written by Subaru customers and staff.

“We’ve found that they are a great way to let patients know that people in their community, who they don’t even know, support them and are sending wishes of hope, strength, and courage as they battle their disease,” Megan Walsh of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society said.

LLS is a nonprofit dedicated to combating blood cancers. Their mission, which is supported by nearly $1.6 billion in research, is to improve the quality of life of patients and their families by searching for a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma.

The blankets will be gifted to patients on Med Surg and the Emergency Department.
