On this Memorial Day, 🇺🇸we honor and appreciate the service and dedication of the Army National Guard.

We’re honored to announce the completion of the renovation of the Fall River, Massachusetts Readiness Center. This transformation restored a 1950s-era historic building into a modern armory, serving both the National Guard units and the Fall River community for decades to come.

👏 A big shoutout to Taylor Palermo and Ronald Laprise for receiving a Certificate of Appreciation from the National Guard! Their outstanding leadership, professionalism, and dedication were key to the success of this renovation project.

🏆 This achievement is a testament to the craftsmanship and perseverance of our project team, delivering lasting value and significance for the United States Army National Guard.

Safety is at the heart❤️ of everything we do.

While risks are a part of our industry, it's up to each of us to take responsibility, speak up, and take action whenever we see something unsafe.

The choices we make everyday impact not just ourselves, but everyone around us.

Let's stay vigilant💪and make safety our top priority—because together, we can create a safer environment for all.

The Pray Family Foundation is delighted to partner with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in supporting a scholarship🎓for clinical observership in Vascular Surgery with Dr. Allen Hamdan. This year, two outstanding students who exhibited academic excellence, dedication to service, and enthusiasm for vascular surgery were awarded the scholarship.

⭐George Morcos shared, "Without the financial support of the Pray Family, I could not have participated in this program. I am truly grateful for your generosity and commitment to encouraging early-stage trainees and students to explore vascular surgery."

⭐Isabella Daneri remarked, “The best part of this experience has been witnessing exceptional operations performed by incredible and diligent nurses, physicians, and medical students. For me, it highlighted how a career in medicine is a continuous learning journey, no matter your role.”

Congratulations to these remarkable recipients—well deserved! 👏👏
