Welcome to the BILH Mother's Day Walk for Peace Fundraising Page!

Beth Israel Lahey Health is proud to be a sponsor of the Mother’s Day Walk for Peace for the 6th year in a row!! Dr. Kevin Tabb, President and CEO, Beth Israel Lahey Health is co-chairing the Walk again this year. The Peace Institute and BILH's Center for Violence Prevention and Recovery’s Homicide Support Services Project consistently collaborate to serve families of homicide victims in the Boston area. We have an innovative hospital-community partnership that ensures families are provided with continuity of care, not only while at our medical center but when they return to their communities as well. BILH understands that in addition to medical and mental health care, families of homicide victims often require emotional and practical support to deal with the physical, emotional, and financial stress they face as a result of their loss. That kind of compassionate and coordinated response not only helps to interrupt cycles of violence but also helps families heal from intergenerational trauma.
