On Friday, January 24, 2025, Garrett Regional Medical Center held an official ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly renovated Health & Wellness Center located at 69 Wolf Acres Drive in Oakland. The GRMC Foundation raised $500,000 towards the behavioral health campaign.
The Foundation’s campaign sought to increase the availability of mental and behavioral health services through a significant renovation and expansion of the existing facility at Wolf Acres Drive.
GRMC President & CEO Mark Boucot credited and thanked GRMC’s Health & Wellness team for their contributions and dedication to the redesign of the facility.
“Research shows that in order for a person to heal, they must feel safe, and Mark Boucot allowed us to tailor the details of the renovation to meet the specific needs of the population we treat, from moving walls to minimize interruptions, to creating a space large enough to hold therapy groups and educational community meetings, to choosing a paint color for the walls that would be welcoming and calming,” said Lisa Ryan, Psy.D., clinical psychologist at Health & Wellness.
GRMC Foundation Executive Director Emily Tusing expressed appreciation to the community for supporting the hospital’s investment in mental and behavioral health.
“On behalf of the GRMC Foundation, I want to thank our community for their incredible support and commitment to this campaign,” stated Tusing. “Support from our donors and community made this a successful campaign.”
