Roger Williams Medical Center - Rally4Recovery
Rally4Recovery is an annual festival celebrating recovery from addiction and mental illness. Roger Williams Medical Center hosted the kickoff event and unveiled the 2013 Recovery Quilt. Each square is made by a current or former participant in the hospital’s Addiction Medicine and Behavioral Health Programs, plus squares created during the 2012 rally. Participants and their families and friends assembled the quilt. The Rally4Recovery concludes with a memorial walk led by torchbearers and luminary candleholders to WaterFire, an art installation with more than 80 bonfires on the river.
