Why It Matters:
Every dollar raised brings us closer to completing a therapeutic outdoor space for Wolfson’s new Behavioral Health & Wellness Unit. Designed to support healing, creativity, and connection, the space will extend therapy through both structured and unstructured play. It will offer a place for children to experience the benefits of movement, nature, and joy, even while in the hospital.
