Healthcare Heroes: Aanya Naik

Change had been piling up in Aanya Naik’s piggy bank since she was four years old. Now 9, Aanya, whose first name means “unique” and last name means “hero,” has grown up to be just that. Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, she has watched the news religiously, hoping to find a way to help. She decided that she wanted to donate her $30 in savings to Winchester Hospital.

Healthcare Heroes: Alexa Sequeira, BSN, RN

Driving home after a 12-hour shift treating COVID-19 patients at Winchester Hospital in early May, Alexa Sequeira, BSN, RN, thought her work was done for the day. But when she came upon a crash scene on the Southeast Expressway in Dorchester and didn’t see any Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), she knew she had to help.

Healthcare Heroes: Teri Ciccone, MD

Working in the Emergency Department, Teri Ciccone, MD, has come to expect the unexpected. But during the COVID-19 pandemic, knowing what’s coming, but not knowing when, is the hard part. “When these sick people come in, they’re really sick and it’s really scary,” Dr. Ciccone said.

Thank you from the President

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your kind words, gestures, and meals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you, too, for your generous donations to the Winchester Hospital Healthcare Heroes Fund. All of us here have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from people we know and those who we have never met. It has been so gratifying to know that our community is aware that many have put their lives at risk while caring for patients.

I can now say that we fought the greatest pandemic in our history, and are coming out on the other side. Although we continue to care for COVID-19 positive patients, our numbers have significantly decreased.

As we begin to resume many routine and elective procedures, we want to assure you that we are taking every precaution to keep you and our staff safe. Our Safe Care plan meets or exceeds safety standards from the US Centers for Disease Control and the MA Department of Public Health.

So again, I thank you and reassure you that, as we have for 108 years, Winchester Hospital stands ready to take care of you, your family, and your friends.

With gratitude,

Richard Weiner, MD
