Last month we hosted an open house networking event at our Downtown Duluth location for area professionals.

Later we received this email:
Brightwater Health,
Thank you for hosting the networking event. I don’t usually attend, but when I saw it was at Brightwater Health, I made a point to be there.

Brightwater saved my life. Twenty-three years ago, I had an appointment at the Superior office, which at that time was near the Mariner Mall. I was severely depressed and assumed I simply needed a medication adjustment. Dr. Glick asked a few questions and made the decision for an involuntary commitment. It was exactly what I needed. I was, literally, extremely close to being at the end of my rope. My stay at Miller Dwan helped me stabilize and commit to taking the first steps toward recovery.

It took some persistence, but I eventually became a patient of Brent Hansen. I’ve now been seeing Brent for more than ten years. He is the best provider I’ve had in my 32-year bipolar journey, including therapists. He correctly diagnosed ADHD and prescribed correct medications, which was a game-changer. It brought me from low-functioning to something closer to “normal,” if there is such a thing.

Thanks again for all the good you do at Brightwater Health.
Notes like this remind us how important our work is every day.
We are honored to be a part of your story and grateful to hear about your positive journey.

Maybe it is just a coincidence that is happening during a mostly snowed-in day, but it could just be a good day to stay home and get some rest!

Sleep is fundamental for mental health.

Sleep helps regulate emotions and repair the brain. Research states that with 7–9 hours of quality sleep nightly, you're improving resilience against stress, anxiety, and depression, too.

And like water, we will always find a way -

Last week we witnessed true selfless acts of care with our Brightwater Health Team.
A notice was sent out stating that one of our employees was unexpectedly on leave due to unforeseen medical circumstances. That team member didn't have enough time off to cover their absence and we were allowed to donate hours to them if anyone was able.

Within 45 minutes of this notice, we reached their maximum amount of donated hours! We were so overwhelmed by the generosity of our team and the care and compassion for one of our own.

The response from our employee on leave:
"I don’t know what to say but thank you and I am grateful for you all. Thank you for your love, support and donation of time. You all make Brightwater Health the best place to work and support individuals on their journey. The most caring, kind and supportive staff. I am beyond words - Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Grateful for our Team.
