A lasting impact

From the time their kids were young, “Newton-Wellesley has had a special place in our hearts,” say Steve and Rebecca Sullivan. Like so many local families, they treasured having high-quality care minutes away.

As they became more engaged through events and volunteering, their appreciation only grew. Wishing to make NWH a focus of their generosity, they were inspired by a budding program in Palliative Care. “Our sense was this could benefit so many families,” says Rebecca, thinking in part of her own elderly mom.

They became early champions of building community support. Yet knowing the program’s value and the vulnerability of funding, they wanted to make an even greater difference. They chose to endow the chief’s position “so it will always be there,” making a multi-year gift commitment together with a gift in their will.

Looking ahead, “we’re excited to think about the impact it will have in ways small and large.”
