Penny Rothschild: Our patients do best in group settings where they realize “I’m not alone.” We see families heal, we see the broken man begin to stand.

Announcer: At the McDonald Center at Sharp HealthCare, counselor Penny Rothschild supports patients being treated for chemical dependency.

Penny: They have completed the biggest challenge they’ve ever faced. So I felt a need for our patient to leave with something symbolic of the work that they had completed.

Announcer: Like everyone at Sharp, Penny brings The Sharp Experience to patients in her own special way.

Penny: I had this idea called the Rock-Out Ceremony. The patient will take the stone and pass it around. And the group will share something that happened that brought them light. They put their own wisdom into it, their energy, their support. Finally, it’s put into the patient’s hand. What a daily reminder they’re not alone.

My name is Penny Rothschild, chemical dependency counselor and that’s what The Sharp Experience means to me.

Announcer: The Sharp Experience begins when you choose an affiliated physician. Sharp accepts almost all health insurance plans. Call 1-800-82-SHARP or visit www.sharp.com.
