The governor's proposed 2025-26 state budget includes the closure of Pappas Rehabilitation Hospital for Children (PRHC), formerly known as Mass Hospital School. The children and young adults who live at Pappas have been receiving medical, rehabilitative, educational, recreational, transitional, and complementary alternative medical services. This unique facility has a full staff specialized in supporting children with severe and multiple disabilities in their transition into adulthood and becoming as independent in the community as possible. The residents are not just here to receive care, but to be empowered. There is no replacement it this facility as it is so unique. The state would rather abandon this facility and its mission, than to create a budget plan that funds the maintenance and repair of this amazing, accessible campus. The current plan to relocate the residents to Western Mass State Hospital disregards the holistic nature of each individual's care at Pappas.

Script:
"Hi, my name is_____ and I'm a resident of _____. I'm reaching out to express my deep concern regarding the proposed shut down of Pappas Rehabilitation Hospital for Children in Canton. The claim that these children will be relocated to a more modern facility is misleading. The children will be moved 2 hours away to Western Mass Hospital. They will lose access to specialized pediatric therapists, nurses, medical staff, aquatics, equine therapy, teachers, and their community. They will be moved away from their families who already face transportation barriers. They will lose the freedom of a complex open campus which will be replaced with a wing of a hospital. These children need us to advocate, especially those who do not have a voice or a family to speak up for them. Let's create a budget with a plan for PRHC"
