She is thrilled to be part of this exciting fund raising event and looks forward to giving everyone a run for their money. When she is not taking dance les-sons, Mary loves to watch her son perform in his band, bikes, does Yoga and studies holistic medicine...she also loves dogs...and people too!

BARBARA SAGER

Barbara Sager is married to CEO Tom Sager and was excited to be partici-pating in this great fund raising event. Last year she retired from a 20 year career in consulting and software development. She also served as Senior Vice President for Picis Inc., a software firm with corporate offices in Wake-field, MA. Though she has no formal dance experience, she believes she is very qualified since she and Tom love to dance. Living under one roof with a fellow dance contestant is difficult to keep her routine secret. But she has set her goal and that is to beat her husband on October 3. When she is not dancing at events with Tom, Barbara enjoys gardening, walking, golf and skiing.

Professional Dance Partner: Michael Ulbrich

THOMAS K. SAGER, CEO

President of Caritas Holy Family Hospital since January 2007, Tom Sager has more than 30 years of leadership experience across non-profit and for-profit environments. His ability to develop effective management teams and deliver financial results has been the hallmark of his distinguished career in hospital administration, serving in both acute and long-term care/sub-acute care at individual sites and managed facility networks. Tom is thrilled to be asked to compete as a celebrity dancer for this worthy event. He owes his strong dance foundation to his favorite partner his wife Barbara, who is also competing against him. He wishes every other contestant lots of luck especially his wife, but has set his goal to win tonight.

Professional Dance Partner: Debbie Ulbrich

DR. DON ROSS, CHIEF OF PATHOLOGY

Dr. Ross has served as Chief of Pathology for 12 years at Holy Family. Prior to taking up medicine Dr. Ross was known around Boston as “Disco Don” tripping the light fantastic at all the trendy clubs. In those days it was not unusual to see that it was Don trying to squeeze that final dance to Donna Summers’ “Last Dance” as management turned on the lights to the club...yelling, “go home!” He is thrilled to be able to use his long years of actual disco dance experience to good use as a celebrity dancer to this event. Lead-ing a more quiet life these days, Dr. Ross lives in Andover, takes an occasion-al spin on the local dance floors, or is playing tennis or skiing in the winter.

DID YOU KNOW?Cardinal Cushing in 1947, three years before the hospital opened, came to a group of women in the Merrimack Valley. He asked them to help raise money to build a new hospital. Th ey began by opening a gift shop in St. Claire’s House which eventually moved to the hospital. 1000 women strong worked tirelessly for the Cardinal and had one of the fi rst Christmas fairs in the country.

In 1988 the hospital needed to replace aging oncology equipment and the Women’s Auxiliary stepped up once again. Th e hospital needed $8 million. Th e Women’s Auxiliary went to the Board of Trustees and pledged $1 mil-lion. Th e trustees went forward and the new William L. Lane Management Center was opened in 1992.

Th e Women’s Auxiliary is committed to providing the best cancer care in the Merrimack Valley and have recently pledged $500,000 over fi ve years to pay for the Trilogy Sterotactic System. In their usual spirit of beating the chal-lenge the Auxiliary will present the Foundation with a check of $100,000 at the annual meeting in October.

How did it begin? Prior to Holy Family’s current incarnation, the fi rst Catholic hospital was called Bon Secours Hospital. Th e seed that blossomed into Bon Secours Hospital was planted back in April, 1946. One of the founders was Editor Louis A. Wefers, (uncle of President Susan Desmit), who wrote an article in the Knights of Columbus “Crusader” Why not a Catholic Hospital? Th is article ignited enthusiasm among the clergy, doctors, laymen and the administration staff s of Greater Lawrence hospitals.

Men and women of many faiths took up the work of bringing the seed to fruition. Incorporation papers were drawn up, a site selected and a building committee was formed to help raise $600,000 to realizing a Catholic Hospital for the Merrimack Valley. Well over a million dollars was raised, a record for giving to this type of project, resulting with ground breaking on Mount St. Joseph in August, 1948 and ribbon cutting two years later offi ciated by Archbishop Richard J. Cushing and Bon Secours received its fi rst pa-tients.
