Greetings! |
We're doing all we can to bring the joy of the season to children who will be with us over the holidays. Right after Thanksgiving, the North Pole Postman came to collect letters some of the children had written to Santa. Later this month we'll hold our annual Mascot Musical chairs party with WEEI. And no holiday season would be complete without a visit from Santa who will bring toys for every patient and student under our roof. Even though the festivities can bring joy, we recognize this time of year can also be difficult for many. For those who wish to reach out, our pastoral care and behavioral health staff are always available to help patients, students and their families at this and EVERY time of year.
Our best wishes for a joyous holiday and healthy New Year! |
