Today is Meet the Team Monday! 👋

Say hi to Samantha Vanfossen, our amazing Customer Support Specialist at our Main Office's front desk!

Samantha has been part of the Westbrook team for a little over a year, and she loves the work-life balance her role provides. It gives her time to travel, take on new projects, and—of course—make sure her cats are living their best lives. 🐾

🌎 Miss Worldwide: Samantha has visited 44 states and 2 countries so far! Her goal? To see all 50 states and collect a few more passport stamps before turning 30.

We love having Samantha’s positive energy and adventurous spirit at Westbrook! ✈️✨

Westbrook Health Services partnered with The Wood County Prevention Coalition this Saturday, Nov. 15 to host the coalition's Bowling Bash to Strike Out Drugs. The goal of the event was to provide families with a free, fun, and healthy opportunity to spend time together.

Activities like this offer positive alternatives for youth, helping them stay engaged in enriching experiences while learning that there are many enjoyable and healthy ways to have fun—without substances.

Families enjoyed free bowling, food, prizes, T-shirts, hats, and plenty of laughs. The event filled nearly every lane and created a space where parents and children could bond, have fun, and build memories — all while supporting prevention and positive community engagement.

Westbrook Health Services was proud to be a partner in this fantastic family event! The energy was high, smiles were everywhere, and it was clear that this gathering meant more than just a fun afternoon. Events like these help remind families and youth that connection, support, and shared experiences are powerful protective factors.

Because when a community comes together, we have the power to make an impact. 🌟

🌟 For Westbrook Wednesday, we're highlighting Westbrook's Genesis Program!

Genesis is a residential treatment program designed to support adult women, including pregnant women and mothers with children, on their journey to recovery.

As an ASAM 3.1 level of care program, Genesis provides clinically-managed, low-intensity residential services in a safe, supportive environment for women who haven’t found success in outpatient care.

This 15-bed program serves women from across West Virginia, helping them heal from substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges — and empowering them to rebuild their lives. 🌸
