Medical Assistance Fund

Last year the Mayhew-Nevin Memorial Fund, established 64 years ago to provide financial support to Islanders who need help with outstanding medical bills, awarded $15,226 to the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, with 87 beneficiaries. Since the Permanent Endowment for Martha’s Vineyard began administering the fund in 1986, over $530,000 has been distributed to more than 2,000 Islanders. Information about fund grants is available on the hospital Web site, mvhospital.com.
