One month ago, something really special began at Beverly Park. A partnership between Hillcrest Beverly Park and the YMCA Early Learning Center created Traveling Tuesdays, in which the children travel throughout Beverly Park and visit residents.

In just a few short weeks, the YMCA Early Learning Center has brought so much joy, connection, and life into the Beverly Park community. Watching the residents and children build relationships through intergenerational programming has been nothing short of amazing.

Both Beverly Park and YMCA express gratitude for this partnership and the beautiful moments it’s creating.

Lavonda Cantrell is the director of marketing & communities for Hillcrest Healthcare and the vice president of The Hillcrest Healthcare Foundation. She can be reached at lcantrell@hillcresthc.com.
