For Ann Bresnahan, of Hope, supporting her community is a family tradition.
Her father and mother, Arthur K. Watson and Ann H. Symington, generously contributed to the original construction of Pen Bay Medical Center, in Rockport, in the 1970s. Ann’s own commitment to PBMC began earlier: Almost 50 years ago, she volunteered as a candy striper.
Today, she serves as cochair of the Campaign for Coastal Health, a $21 million campaign that funded construction of the new Health Center at PBMC and will help support the expansion of the hospital’s Emergency Department, scheduled to begin early this summer.
