JFK Profile in Courage Award Honors Captain Fred Freeman
Congratulations to Hanover Fire Department's Department's Captain Fred Freeman and all of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum’s COVID Courage honorees! These frontline heroes represent the courage and national sacrifice we’ve witnessed in so many aspects of American life throughout the pandemic. Thousands of COVID Courage nominations across the country were submitted. The Town of Hanover is thrilled to honor Captain Freeman, one of seven award recipients.
Fred Freeman, who serves as a captain in the Hanover, Massachusetts fire department and is a registered nurse, led the establishment of an innovative mobile health program allowing the town of Hanover to deliver COVID-19 testing and other critical health services directly to residents in their homes. The program – a partnership of the Hanover Fire Department and South Shore Health System – allows vulnerable patients to remain at home, slowing the spread of the virus and alleviating pressure on a health care system already strained by the pandemic.
Thank you, Captain Freeman for your hard work, efforts, and steadfast commitment to the Town of Hanover!
