Rochester, N.Y. — A nonprofit organization that supports people in recovery from mental health and substance use disorders is celebrating 60 years of life-changing work in the Rochester region.
East House on Monroe Avenue provides residential, rehabilitation, education and employment programs to empower people to live healthy and fulfilling lives in their community.
The organization rolled out the red carpet at the Little Theatre Tuesday night to mark its anniversary and premiere its short film that will be featured throughout 2026 on the PBS segment called “Empowered Hosted by Meg Ryan.”
Ryan, an award-winning actress, is best known for her roles in romantic comedies like “When Harry Met Sally” and “Sleepless in Seattle.”
“It’s going to air nationally and on local markets, on many of the channels that host PBS shows,” said Lindsay Gozzi-Theobald, East House’s president and CEO.
“It’s really to showcase behavioral health in Western New York, and East House’s history,” Gozzi-Theobald continued. “And all of the work we’ve done to support our community.”
