St Joseph Mercy Chelsea to donate $7,500 to Manchester Schools for health

St Joseph Mercy Chelsea announced last week that they will be donating $7,500 to Manchester Community Schools to increase access to physical and mental health programs for students and staff.

Student and staff physical and mental health was identified as a priority need in Manchester in the hospital’s most recent Community Health Needs Assessment. This $7,500 is part of a total of nearly $170,000 which will be given to organizations in the Five Healthy Towns of Chelsea, Dexter, Grass Lake, Manchester, and Stockbridge, all to help meet basic community needs.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
