A legacy of heartfelt support

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.

Wishing to make NWH a focus of their generosity, they became champions of community support for 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.

In addition to a five-year gift commitment, they chose to make a gift in their will to endow the Chief of Palliative Care’s position “so it will always be there.” Looking forward, “we’re excited to think about the impact it will have in ways small and large.”

Responding to a crisis in youth mental health

More than 5,000 children and teens and their families turn to NewtonWellesley each year to help them overcome mental health challenges. In a time of escalating needs, many generous donors have gratefully stepped up to support increased access to care.

The good news: nearly all pediatric mental health illnesses are treatable, and most are curable, explains Elizabeth S. Booma, MD, The Michael S. Jellinek, MD, Chief of Child Psychiatry. Access to early diagnosis and treatment is critical. Investing in our caregivers, programs, and outreach efforts will help us make it a reality for thousands of children and families in need.

More good news: An anonymous family foundation has stepped up to expand psychiatric care and invest in sustaining the team’s impact. Over and above their own investment, they have created a 1:1 matching challenge to inspire new philanthropy and build the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Endowment Fund. “Your support would be life-changing,” Dr. Booma reflects.
