Dispensing Mural: Climb to the Top and Soar in Your Recovery

The Lancaster dispensing area has been livened up with a brightly colored mural, thanks to a group of volunteers from Chase. The team of a dozen people from the nearby Wilmington office took time out of their workday yesterday to give back to the community. In doing so, they’ve made the daily routine of coming in for medication more welcoming for nearly 700 methadone patients.



One wall depicts how we can turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones to climb toward recovery, using faith, help, health, and hope. The opposite wall is all about reaching the top of that climb and being ready to fly, because the sky is the limit when you’ve overcome your addiction. We think this is just the right mix of inspiration and fun to greet our patients every morning. And this is only phase 1 of the project, because now, our patients will get to add personal messages in the blocks to those who have helped them in their climb toward recovery.

We thank Rachel Aponte and her group of artists from Chase for this gift they’ve given us. For an afternoon’s work, they became part of the recovery process for today's patients and many more to come.
