All are welcome to attend the inaugural LRGHealthcare Bridge to Recovery Walk on Sunday morning, May 7 at Franklin Regional Hospital.
This family friendly event will bring together community friends and neighbors, local businesses, and LRGHealthcare providers and staff, to raise awareness and funds, and to show our support for those in our community who are struggling with, or recovering from, substance addiction or mental illness.
LRGHealthcare is grateful and honored to announce the very generous Stroll Sponsors of the Bridge to Recovery Walk: ClearChoiceMD Urgent Care; Franklin Regional Hospital Auxiliary; Andrew and Donna Hosmer and AutoServ of Tilton: and Team Camren in Memory of Camren Ess.
“Countless families in our communities have been touched, or deeply impacted by mental illness, substance addiction, or both. We at LRGHealthcare are proud to stand beside our community partners as we strive to find solutions and offer resources to those during their time of need,” states LRGHealthcare President and CEO Kevin Donovan. “We are so excited to host the first Bridge to Recovery Walk at Franklin Regional Hospital and encourage everyone in the community to come on out for a nice walk and brunch celebration. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, staff, and patients at LRGHealthcare I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our sponsors and those who are supporting this event in any way,” adds Donovan.
