Before the Statehouse rally, Governor Maura Healey announced a pause on plans to close Pappas Rehabilitation Hospital and Pocasset Mental Health Center, responding to significant public outcry. Hundreds gathered to protest budget cuts targeting these facilities and mental health services. Healey stated the review process aims to reform care methods. Advocates expressed relief, yet acknowledged that this is just the beginning of their fight to secure the future of these vital health services for patients with disabilities and mental health needs.
"We know everything that Pappas has to offer them, and we want to continue for our students now and for our students and patients in the future."
"Pappas is worth it and anyone who comes to see the 160-acre campus can see the work put into it by the staff."
