Medicaid, I/DD-related Services are Essential

With March fading into April, we find ourselves at the turning point of the seasons. The final traces of winter melt away, making room for the warmth and renewal of spring. This time of year is a reminder of the beauty of change—longer days, budding flowers and the promise of new opportunities.

We believe in the power of community, generosity, and shared purpose—and our inaugural “Day of Giving” was a testament to that belief. I am thrilled to share that, thanks to the overwhelming support of our donors, families, staff, and friends, we not only met our fundraising goal but exceeded it, raising over $100,000.00! In addition to such generous donors, Springbrook Board Director Bill Mirabito, and his wife, Karen, matched the funds raised, which doubled the impact. This incredible achievement will directly impact the lives of the people we serve, strengthening our programs and expanding opportunities. A key part of this support system is ensuring access to essential services, many of which are made possible through Medicaid funding.
