Hope and Healing 2026

At UMass Memorial Health, we don’t wait for challenges to solve themselves. We act. We innovate. We show up relentlessly for every patient who walks through our doors. Hope and Healing is more than an event. It’s a powerful expression of what happens when a community refuses to settle for anything less than exceptional care close to home.

Every day across Central Massachusetts and beyond, our teams are advancing new treatments, expanding access to lifesaving services, and caring for patients with skill, urgency and compassion. As the region’s only academic medical center and largest health system, we carry both responsibility and resolve to push boundaries, remove barriers and deliver care that meets this moment and the next.

Your presence at the Hope and Healing Celebration, Worcester's premier fundraising gala, fuels that work.

When you attend and make a gift, you help us:

• Accelerate innovation in patient care
• Expand access for families who need us most
• Invest in state-of-the-art technology and facilities
• Support caregivers who bring expertise and heart to every bedside

This is what proactive health care looks like. This is what relentless dedication feels like. This is what happens when generosity meets purpose.

Join us for an unforgettable evening that celebrates progress, strengthens possibility and advances healing for our neighbors, friends and families.
