Seven Hills Foundation

Responding to the Crisis

Seven Hills Foundation & Affiliates has established an Emergency Response Fund to help secure the funding to cover the extraordinary costs associated with our work to keep the individuals we support, along with our 4,600 staff members, safe and well. The Emergency Response Fund is helping to offset Personnel Protection Equipment (PPE), laptops, and tablets to utilize telehealth, telepsychiatry, distance learning, and to keep individuals connected with family and friends. Funds are needed as our programs continue to upgrade technology systems to keep all of our individuals engaged and healthy. Many of the families we serve are in need of food, basic essentials, and transportation. Seven Hills staff continues to distribute gift cards to families and individuals, as well as respond to a wide variety of necessities to keep people safe and healthy.

Future Goals

1. Continue as the employer of choice in health and human services by providing competitive wages, a robust benefits package, and by encouraging and supporting professional development.

2. Continue to provide the highest quality of services that are self-directed, community-focused, and consistent with our Core Values of Respect and Kindness, Integrity, Teamwork, Innovation, and Service to Others.

3. Lead the delivery of services and supports that promote community inclusion, including integrated competitive employment, residential options, and provide a full life in the community. 

4. Integrate cultural competency at every level within the organization through a vibrant Diversity & Inclusion Council. 

5. Expand our use of technology and virtual learning and social opportunities for supported individuals.

6. Continue to support sustainable humanitarian efforts in the home countries of our diverse staff through our Seven Hills Global Outreach affiliate. 

7. Strengthen collaborations with statewide Accountable Care and Managed Care Organizations to provide optimum care coordination for people needing long-term services and supports.

8. Use this challenging time to redesign the provision of supports utilizing telehealth and remote technologies within the community.
