Despite 2020’s numerous challenges, attendees of this signature event delivered on their promise to help people with substance use disorders and behavioral health needs.

The October 21 signature event will raise money for The Grayken Center for Treatment at South Shore Health.

Made possible by a nearly $142,000 grant from the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, these modified rooms are calming, controlled spaces aimed at reducing stress, agitation, and anxiety for patients, particularly those who are neurodivergent or on the autism spectrum.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (Blue Cross) and South Shore Health System have launched a first-of-its-kind pilot program to improve patient care, slow the rise of health care costs, and change the way hospitals are paid.
