Holiday Wishes From Silver Hill Hospital

Silver Hill Hospital wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season.

began this blog as a way for us to reach out and begin a two-way conversation with you about mental health and wellness. Since then, we have posted 14 times on subjects as varied as and , to and . We all face challenges in our daily lives, and our goal was to become a resource to help you manage yours.

I couldn’t be more pleased with your response. It’s absolutely fun to log on and see our posts up there in Most Popular and especially gratifying when you comment. Because of this, I know that a dialogue around mental wellness is beginning.

So on the occasion of the holiday season, I’d like to thank each of you for participating in the Silver Hill Hospital Patch blog. It is our hope we have helped you and your loved ones live each day to the fullest.

This blog also gives me the opportunity to publicly thank some other people who are incredibly important to Silver Hill. I hope you will indulge me for just a bit.

First, to our donors. Silver Hill is not-for-profit. We could not invest in new programs and facilities if it were not for you and your continued generosity.

To the more than 180 volunteers who log thousands of hours a year for us. The benefits you bring are manifold. You greet patients in admissions, work with us in pet, art, and horticultural therapy, meet with families — and essentially are the connective thread that ties Silver Hill together. We are a better hospital for your efforts.

The dedication that our doctors and staff bring to work each day is inspiring. Your commitment to provide the very best treatment available is unending. Indeed, your work is the foundation upon which we build all of our programs. I have tremendous respect for your talent and obvious skill, am honored to work with each of you, and probably should say thank you more often.

Our 42-acre campus straddles the towns of New Canaan and Wilton, deep within the state of Connecticut. The peace and serenity derived from the grounds is a vital component of our patient care. It is a wonderfully healing environment. Know that we will continue to strive to be a good neighbor and a local resource.

On behalf of everyone here at Silver Hill, let me wish each of you holiday season filled with family and friends, peace and happiness, and blessings in abundance.
