It is a wellness program and pilot project of Wellness Integral Inc., in collaboration with the Kilpatrick Athletic Center at Simon's Rock College (physician led–participant driven).
Mission
What is Wellness? provides a unique wellness educational environment, offering a balance of experiential and cognitive learning through access to a team of health/wellness professionals dedicated to community and individual well-being through integrated health and fitness practices.
Project Goals
What They Do
Pet Partners distributes free pet food for those in need, offers reduced rate spay/neuter, and provides partial financial assistance for required veterinary care.
Mission
To help pet owners care for their companion animals during times of economic stress so that the pets will be able to remain in their homes and not need to be surrendered to shelters or rescue groups.
Green Tip
Spaying or neutering a companion animal is one of the most important steps a pet owner can take to address the problem of pet overpopulation.
The aim of the program is to help participants learn and instill new healthy habits through experiential education, a commitment to fitness, healthy diet, and mindfulness practices that are sustainable and measurable.
“I have low income . . . Pet Partners helped me pay for my cats surgery and for their vaccines to keep them healthy. I am very greatful [sic] for Pet Partners! They are really making a difference . . .” ~ SB, Great Barrington “I would not have been able to keep these two boys [cats] if it weren’t for your help. Thank you and keep up with what you’re doing.” ~ CA, Great Barrington

The Angelina Morsello Savko Fund
What They Do
Act III will be presented at Pittsfield's Colonial Theatre, on March 19 & 20, 2010.
Broadway to the Berkshires Act III, a song, dance, and comedy program to benefit the Berkshire Medical Center Cardiac Rehab Unit, returns to the stage with upcoming performances at The Colonial Theatre. Producers Lynn Arseneau and son Brian Arseneau of Pittsfield have reprised the cast who will entertain in grand style to raise funds as a memorial tribute to Angelina Morsello Savko. Ms. Savko conceived the original script, envisioning a showcase for the talents of local performers in which Broadway hits would be combined with choreography and comedy for the entire community to enjoy. 42

The fund was created in 2006 to assist patients with heart disease (recovering from a heart attack and those at potential risk). The Cardiac Rehab Unit offers an intensive outpatient rehabilitation component lasting ten weeks. In addition, the unit offers Angelina Morsello Savko a maintenance program aimed at providing long-term support. Unfortunately, some patients are unable to pay the co-pay for these necessary and valuable services. The fund offers financial aid to help cover the co-pay.
