If a family member or close friend is facing addiction, where do you turn?
If you’re like most in our community, you turn to Spectrum Health Systems.
Why?
Because you know they will receive absolute top-notch care.
And you also know that they’ll be treated like a real person, by dedicated, compassionate behavioral health professionals in a warm, caring environment.
Spectrum Health Systems is asking for your help to further enhance the care that we provide to countless family and friends in need. We are in the process of raising funds to build a healing garden on our 25-acre residential treatment campus in Westborough, Massachusetts.
The Healing Garden is designed as a welcoming, serene green space for our clients and their families to enjoy – a place to pause, assess, reflect and move forward along the path of recovery. It will provide much-needed outdoor treatment areas, space for physical fitness and family time as well as a water feature and twelve-step walkway for quiet reflection.
Waterman Design Associates, Inc. in Westborough, MA generously donated their services to develop the landscape design. We also received a grant from the Stoddard Charitable Trust in support of the project. Fundraising activities continue with the goal of breaking ground later this year.
Please consider donating to Spectrum’s Healing Garden Project.
The attached pamphlet provides suggested levels of support. The pamphlet also describes special naming opportunities that are available should you wish to commemorate your gift. Some of our generous donors are choosing to honor or remember a loved one who has faced the disease of addiction. You may elect to recognize your donation as a memorial, a personal contribution or an anonymous gift. Whichever you choose, please know that your generosity will help make life more fulfilling for people affected by addiction.
Every donation, no matter what size, is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your willingness to support the efforts of Spectrum Health Systems and make a difference in the lives of so many family and friends in need.
