Special regards to Cass (social worker), Bernard, Kate, Noella, Kendall, Kristen and Carrie. Your facility is the absolute best and my favorite psych ward in the area. Keep rockin’ it!’

‘The staff on the Horizon unit were kind, considerate and compassionate. They helped me feel safe, secure and to put my best foot forward by teaching and modeling how to do so. The employees rocked it. Personally, I feel that each and every one of them deserve an award or commendations for their excellent work.’

“I was a patient in the Compass Unit and just wanted to thank you for the wonderful staff and service with my time there.

It may have been my best yet!”

I would particularly like to call out Crystal, Ron, Kym, Dennel (“D”), Brittany and Ames for making me feel at home and attending to my needs.
