The boards of directors of Seven Hills Foundation and ARCHWAY, Inc. (ARCHway) announced an affiliation that will have ARCHway programs operate as part of Seven Hills Foundation effective April 1. This agreement will ensure the preservation and continuation of ARCHway, Inc. adult and family services in Central Massachusetts, which will be integrated with a broader set of services provided by Seven Hills Foundation to adults and families in need of support. 

Located in Central Massachusetts, ARCHway, Inc. was founded nearly 50 years ago and provides residential, behavioral health and educational services to adults and their family members.  ARCHway, Inc. employs over 40 people in 2 program sites.  The move to Seven Hills will provide stability to these programs by seamlessly integrating them into a larger non-profit organization.

“By combining these two organizations, we are creating a human services agency that is stronger than the sum of its parts,” said Dr. David A. Jordan, President of Seven Hills Foundation.  “The population served by Seven Hills is changing and evolving as we are supporting more individuals with needs that are complex and may include medical, developmental, and behavioral facets.”

Over the long term, both organizations will be improving program infrastructure with the goal of supporting more ARCHway people throughout Massachusetts.  The intent is to expand critical areas of support we provide to children and families in need, strengthen our clinical expertise, and grow early access to services to the most underserved populations.
