About the event
The Purple Light Project (PLP) was created in 2020 to bring support to our behavioral health emergency department patients. Purple was named after purple pod, Hartford Hospital's behavioral health emergency department. The light represents Hartford HealthCare's commitment to serving our patients 24/7, someone is always here if you or someone you know, needs help. Since its inception, the need has grown and PLP strives to bring support to the entire behavioral health system. Our patients benefit from food vouchers, safe transportation to a support system’s residence, warm winter clothing, dignity and hygiene items or human experience items for while they are in treatment with us. 100% of the funds raised through the 5k goes to patients.
