We love celebrating our care providers! 🥼 🌟

Please join us in congratulating Scot Rose, NP, from our behavioral health team in winning the Thanks a Caregiver: Provider Award 💛

Scot's understanding and compassion has resonated with many people in our community. He takes time to create a comfortable, no-judgment environment, allowing for an open and honest conversation. Making sure that you get the proper diagnosis and support for your individual needs is first on his priority list.

"... Finally having someone listen to me and properly diagnose me, finding the right one medication to help me as absolutely changed my life. Brought me out of my darkest place I've ever been to a new life back to being me again. He's absolutely the best."
