The public is invited to visit and tour the rehabilitation center, which hosted its grand opening last year, and hear current and former patients talk about their rehabilitation processes, according to a release from the hospital and health center.
The reunion is “always a very special event” for former patients, said Gay Landstrom, interim president and CEO at Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center.
“It’s heartwarming to see so many patients returning to share their tales of triumph over their illnesses and injuries, many of which inspire current patients struggling with the same challenges,” Landstrom said. “It is also meaningful for the staff members who cared for these patients to witness and celebrate their continued progress. These stories are truly touching and remarkable.”
The event is free.
Reservations are encouraged, and are necessary for anyone requiring special assistance, the release said.
