“When we put significant work into estate planning several years ago, we knew that there were a select few non-profits we wanted to include in our will. Bert Nash was at the top of the list with their effective and essential system for providing mental health services to Lawrence and Douglas County. We both know people who have been positively impacted by their use of Bert Nash services, and we want current and future generations to have access to these services.”

-Josh and Amanda Woodward-Davis, Building Bert Nash & Bert Nash Legacy Society members
