  • Harvard College Marathon Challenge
    Harvard College Marathon Challenge Post-Event Survey Summary 2007 Questions/Complaints/Blame? E-Mail [email protected] Website: http://marathon.harvard.edu ©2007 Harvard College Marathon Challenge. Reproduction, distribution, or any other use of this data, in whole or in part, is prohibited without express written consent from Harvard College Marathon Challenge. 1 OVERVIEW: HARVARD COLLEGE MARATHON CHALLENGE (HCMC) Harvard College Marathon Challenge (HCMC) started in 2005. This year, through HCMC, thirty Harvard College-affiliated volunteers raised more than $35,000 to benefit Project HEALTH and Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA), two charities that mean a great deal to many Harvard students and employees. In exchange for their successful fundraising efforts, HCMC participants received official invitational entries (numbered bibs) to run the 111th Boston Marathon on April 16th, 2007. These invitational entries allowed HCMC participants, by virtue of their fundraising achievements, to run the Boston Marathon without time-qualifying; each HCMC participant had up to six hours to complete the 26.2-mile course at her chosen pace. To ensure diversity, HCMC participants were selected by a process that took into account student vs. staff status, year of graduation, residential affiliation, past PBHA/Project HEALTH involvement, gender, previous running/marathon experience, and especially demonstrated prior commitment to the HCMC program. Each participant paid a nonrefundable $210 registration fee and was required to meet several incremental fundraising benchmarks. These benchmarks culminated in a $750 fundraising minimum for each first-time undergraduate participant, a $1000 fundraising minimum for each veteran undergraduate participant, and a $1500 fundraising minimum for each non-undergraduate participant.

  • Mclean HOSPITAL
    McLEAN HOSPITAL Introduction McLean Hospital is a non-profit center for psychiatric and chemical dependency treatment, teaching and research founded in 1811. It provides a continuum of inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient care. McLean offers both biological and psychosocial treatment to children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients. U.S. News & World Report continuously ranks McLean first among psychiatric hospitals nationwide. Mission Statement The largest psychiatric clinical care, teaching, and research affiliate of Harvard Medical School, McLean is committed to: • Providing a full range of high-quality, cost-effective services to individuals of all backgrounds, their families, and the community • Supporting basic and clinical research into the causes, treatments, and prevention of mental illness • Training future generations of mental health professionals For 196 years, McLean has taken very seriously its responsibility to provide programs and services that improve the health of the community. Even during today’s great financial challenges in health care, McLean remains true to that fundamental mission. Improving Community Health through Innovative Programs Improving community health is a natural extension of McLean’s tripartite mission of clinical care, research, and teaching, and its long-standing commitment to those with mental illness. Following are some examples of how McLean is continuously working to serve the community in innovative ways that have a favorable impact on the daily lives of community residents: • During the Partners HealthCare and Channels 7/56 Health and Fitness Expo on June 23 and 24, 2007 in Boston, McLean hosted a large exhibit, at which thousands of attendees were able to obtain general information on mental health and McLean programs and services.
