Seven Hills Foundation

Answering the Call to Care through advocacy at Seven Hills.

At?Open Door Arts (ODA),?a Seven Hills Foundation affiliate, we believe our shared cultural community is strengthened when it represents, includes, and engages all people.?That’s why we work annually with hundreds of students, teaching artists, educators and leaders of cultural organizations through innovative and inclusive programming, training, events, and exhibits designed to improve access, expand participation, challenge the status quo, and share practices to ensure equitable representation of people with disabilities in the arts. This work is made possible through generous community funding. https://lnkd.in/eyhQdGa2

Congratulations to Dr. Xuejing Li on her selection as the Worcester Business Journal Champions of Health Award winner for 2024 as Mental Health Provider of the Year. Seven Hills is honored to have such an exemplary board-certified psychiatrist at Seven Hills, whose dedication to the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents is exceptional. Her approach to psychiatry is grounded in a deep understanding of the unique challenges young individuals face—and their family/caregiving system—and she excels in creating a therapeutic environment where children and parents/caregivers feel safe, heard, and respected.

Kathleen Jordan joined the Seven Hills Foundation more than two decades ago, when she was hired to manage the nonprofit’s acquisition of a pediatric skilled nursing facility in Groton. She’d heard of Seven Hills; she had lived in Worcester and was vaguely aware of what the Worcester-based nonprofit did. But as she got into her job and saw the organization intimately with her own eyes, she knew it was special.“I just found myself drawn even more deeply to working with individuals who are invisible or who, frankly, the public would like to see remain invisible,” Jordan said. https://lnkd.in/gtQj-qaf
