The Walsh Hospital District hosted its first Summer Camp event on June 17th, 2025. The theme was “Under the Sea” and the event was planned by the Activity Department and Residents of the Walsh Healthcare Center and Maplewood Homes. Residents volunteered their time preparing craft projects, and snacks for the Summer Camp children. A story was shared, games were played, and everyone left with their very own rainbow fish. We would like to thank everyone for attending this event and look forward to seeing you back in July at our Beach Party.
