Daviess Community Hospital will host the inaugural Walk for Suicide Loss & Awareness on Saturday, September 27, from 6 to 8 p.m. on the hospital’s main campus at 1314 E. Walnut Street, Washington, Indiana. This special event invites individuals, families, and organizations to come together to honor those lost to suicide, support survivors, and shine a light on the importance of suicide prevention and mental health support in our community.
The Walk for Suicide Loss & Awareness is open to everyone and free to attend. Those wishing to receive a commemorative t-shirt may register for $25 per person. The deadline to register as a walker and receive a t-shirt is 4 p.m. Friday, September 12. All proceeds benefit the Daviess Community Hospital Foundation to support mental health resources, suicide prevention efforts, and ongoing community outreach.
Participants will experience an evening of healing and remembrance, including a non-competitive walk, opportunities to pay tribute to loved ones, a vendor fair, and meaningful displays of support and hope. Free glow sticks will be provided to all walkers to light the path as the sun sets.
“Suicide touches so many lives, and it’s important that we come together as a community to honor those we’ve lost, support each other, and help break the silence around mental health,” said Angie Steiner, Director of the Daviess Community Hospital Foundation. “We hope this event will bring comfort, connection, and hope to all who attend.”
