Merrimack Health

As you gather with family and friends this Memorial Day weekend, a few simple food safety steps can help keep everyone safe and healthy.

🧼 Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds
🥩 Keep raw and cooked foods separate
🌡️ Use a food thermometer to make sure foods are fully cooked
🧊 Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot
⏱️ Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours (1 hour in hot weather)

Small steps make a big difference in preventing foodborne illness. Wishing you a safe and healthy holiday weekend.

This week we take a moment to recognize our pre-hospital team for EMS Week. This year marks 40 years of Lawrence Hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) serving its communities across the Merrimack Valley. 🚑💙

Every day, EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers and first responders provide critical care and support when it matters most.

Join us in saying thank you today and every day for their dedication and life-saving care they provide.
