“At the Brattleboro Retreat, we’ve helped people find the strength to make positive life changes since 1834. That’s more than 178 years,” explained Dr. Robert E. Simpson, president and chief executive officer. “Our treatment and care isn’t just for adults, we also serve many children and adolescents. Now you can support our work with kids and have a great day of golf.”
