Advancing Health Equity: The 2025 Lowell General Hospital Ball
The annual Lowell General Hospital Ball for Community Health Initiatives was held on March 1, 2025, at the InterContinental Boston. The event brought together healthcare professionals, community leaders and supporters from the Merrimack Valley and raised an impressive $52,250 for The Wish Project.
Each year, the Ball raises funds for a selected nonprofit serving residents in the Merrimack Valley. Believing that families can only escape the social service system when their basic needs are met, The Wish Project provides essential home and baby goods to those facing homelessness or other crises. This immediate support alleviates stress in the short term while helping to end homelessness in the long term by supporting families on their journey towards long-term residency.
Since 2006, the Lowell General Hospital Ball has demonstrated the hospital’s dedication to community well-being, fueled by support from its medical staff and local partners. This year's event was co-chaired by Drs. Miret Ibrahim and Allen Hwang, who brought their leadership and dedication to the cause.
Congratulations to everyone who made this event a success, directly contributing to improved health equity in the Greater Lowell area.
