Welcome to the Corewell Health Foundation Southwest Michigan's Annual Gala. This year we are pleased to come together to shine a light on mental health care in our Southwest Michigan community. 

Friday, June 13, 2025  |  5:30 - 10:30 p.m.  |  Corewell Health St. Joseph Hospital 

We invite you to join us in shining a light on the importance of having exceptional mental and behavioral health resources close to home, and in transforming our facilities and services to empower people to heal, grow and thrive.

Healing isn't just about physical recovery; it encompasses the mind, emotions and spirit, as well. And when it's thoughts and feelings that need healing, too often people in Southwest Michigan have trouble accessing the care that would make a difference.
