A Message from the Hopewell Board Chair Ida Goodwin Woolfolk

It seems that Americans are focusing on healthcare as never before. We should!

How many of us focus on the mental needs as well as the physical needs. (If it doesn’t affect you or your family, we can almost ignore this issue.) A sound mind in a sound body is, unfortunately, not the norm for everyone.

Let’s bind together our thoughts, solutions, and finances to ensure a healthier America as Hopewell Center plunges forward toward ameliorating, rescuing, and providing solace and care for the abused, the depressed, and those who are similarly affected.
