Courage to Confront Crisis
The WakeMed Foundation's Courage to Confront Crisis Campaign is helping make the vision to transform access to mental health care in our community a reality by supporting WakeMed’s Whole Health Campus in Garner — a milestone in our mission to deliver whole-person health for our growing community. "This project sets a new standard in mental health care — breaking down barriers, reducing stigma and providing hope," says Donald Gintzig, WakeMed President & CEO. When complete in 2029, the campus will include a 45-bed Acute Care Hospital and a 150-bed Mental Health & Well-Being Hospital — a powerful symbol of the connection between physical and mental health.
