ART AT OVERLOOK AUCTION AND COCKTAIL RECEPTION

The Overlook Auxiliary “Art at Overlook” Auction supports pediatric and adolescent mental health initiatives at Overlook Medical Center. Over the past few years, throughout the United States, there has been a significant rise in acute behavioral health symptoms among the pediatric and adolescent population, primarily among children between the ages of 13 and 17. Because these issues often reach a crisis point, more and more of these children who have intense psychological needs, and their families, have turned to the emergency department at their local hospital as the first stop for care. While this need is not unique to the Overlook Medical Center, Overlook and the Atlantic Health System have been at the forefront of care and treatment of these patients who have come through its doors, specifically in the emergency department.

The funds raised at the “Art at Overlook” event and coinciding auction will provide critical resources for the doctors, nurses, social workers, crisis counselors, and child/life specialists working to treat the mental health needs among the pediatric and adolescent population in our community. We hope you will consider participating in our auction or making a donation to support this worthy cause!

The Overlook Auxiliary is 501(c)(3) nonprofit volunteer organization cultivating a compassionate and comforting environment throughout the entire Overlook Medical Center Community with active volunteering and imaginative fundraising.
