Heart and Soul

It was an inspirational night at the Newton Medical Center Foundation's annual 2025 Heart & Soul event on February 26th at Perona Farms in Andover!

Over 200 guests heard impactful stories of Automated External Defibrillator (AED) saves in our communities and celebrated Western Region first responders and NMC's and HMC's Emergency Department team members.

All Heart & Soul proceeds benefit the NMC Foundation's Community AED Program which was launched in 2001 with the goal of providing lifesaving AED’s, training, and education to organizations in the hospital’s service area.

Some impressive Community AED Program stats:

• Over 1,100 AEDs have been distributed to the community since the Community AED Program's inception
• Over 7,000 individuals have been trained in the use of AEDs
• 83 LIVES have been SAVED to date!
