McLean Honors Lee and Bob Woodruff
McLean Hospital honored Lee Woodruff, author, freelance writer, and contributing editor at ABC's Good Morning America, and her husband, Bob Woodruff, ABC News anchor and correspondent, at its annual dinner held on June 2, 2008, at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Lee accepted the McLean Award on behalf of Bob and herself, and shared her family's journey through trauma and recovery. The McLean Award recognized the Woodruffs for their exceptional courage facing psychological challenges after a traumatic brain injury, for their efforts to further public understanding of brain illness, and for fighting to reduce the stigma of mental illness.

Your Gifts at Work
The McLean Center at Fernside, a new residential treatment facility in Princeton, Mass., was made possible in part by an anonymous gift of $500,000. The center specializes in treating co-occuring substance use and psychiatric disorders, with no limitations on length of stay. According to Roger Weiss, M.D., the clinical director of McLean's Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Program (ADATP), there are few programs that treat both substance use disorders and psychiatric disorders at the same time. The McLean Center fills this void.
