Before coming to any of our Clinic sites, please do the following:

  2. If you are feeling ill, please stay home. Call us so we can arrange for your care through tele-health technology.

On a daily basis, Clinic leadership assesses critical needs, and has protocols in place to minimize face-to-face contact whenever possible, provides for social distancing, and has structured service delivery enabling personnel to work from home whenever possible. Everyone has shown flexibility and grace as we go through this pandemic together. We are grateful to our personnel and to the clients/patients/families we serve for trusting us to take care of them.

We will continue to keep everyone updated with changes as they impact the behavioral health system. Please stay healthy and well,
