EMPLOYEES TALK ABOUT BRACEBRIDGE HALL
It is a privilege to be a part of our patients’ recovery. We are making a difference. You see the transformation during their stay with us – We are SAVING LIVES!”
– RCA at Bracebridge Hall Employee
I see the patients and their loved ones at their most broken and vulnerable state when I pick up patients to bring them to treatment. Patients don’t always recognize me during their stay as the person who brought them to RCA, and I don’t always recognize them during their transition while they are here with us! But when I get to take them back to their families at the end of their stay as a changed person who has begun to heal the biggest reward is the smile on everyone’s faces.”
