The Lourdes Behavioral Health Institute has received a $50,000 grant from IMPACT Lourdes to help fund a comprehensive therapy program for its new behavioral health unit.

 According to a press release, the Institute will open in spring of 2015, and will offer comprehensive services for inpatients and outpatients.

“With this grant from IMPACT Lourdes, the Behavioral Health Institute will be able to provide state-of-the-art therapeutic services, including music therapy, sensory stimulation and exercise therapy,” says John Strachan, Director of Program Excellence. “These services are critical to support the well-being and recovery of people who find themselves in need of help during some very difficult challenges.”

IMPACT Lourdes is a women's club whose yearly membership dues are used to support a program or project at Lourdes.

“This group of women genuinely cares about impacting the lives and health of our community,” states Tara Miller, president of Lourdes Foundation. “With each IMPACT Lourdes membership, these ladies are helping people live fuller, healthier lives.”

IMPACT Lourdes has granted more than $200,000 to projects since the program began in 2010.

“I am so excited to be a part of IMPACT Lourdes, says Trisha Sperry, IMPACT Lourdes member, “This project is going to meet an extensive need in our community. Being a member of IMPACT Lourdes is about making a difference,” Sperry continued, “these funds will help many people who suffer from mental illness and provide advanced care, close to home.”
 
The Lourdes Behavioral Health Institute will include adult and geriatric services; a Partial Hospitalization Program; and Intensive Outpatient Program. All programs and services will continue to provide evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatment provided by certified and licensed clinicians.
