Fallon Ambulance Donates $2500 to Spaulding Rehab Hospital for Boston Marathon

Fallon Ambulance Service, a third generation family business that provides the 9-1-1 municipal service to Quincy, Milton, Brookline, Dedham, and Braintree, donated $2500 to the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital's participation in the Boston Marathon.

With this partnership Fallon Ambulance will be providing critical financial resources while further investing in the health and well-being of Spaulding patients.

"The Boston Marathon is a great venue for raising health-related funds," said Peter Racicot, Senior Vice President of Business Development for Fallon Ambulance. "We are proud to be able to help Spaulding."

In last year's Boston Marathon, Spaulding's team of runners raised over $35,000 to enhance their rehabilitation programs and services.
