Healing often happens in the quiet, in-between moments.

Our Activity Coordinator, Elizabeth Chandler, created a coffee cart that does so much more than serve a warm drink. Between groups and activities, she rolls it room to room, taking time to visit with each patient — listening, laughing, connecting.

The weather outside is cold, but the warmth she brings to our unit is undeniable. It’s comfort, dignity, and human connection in its simplest form.

We are so grateful for team members like Elizabeth who understand that sometimes the most meaningful care comes with a cup of coffee and a kind conversation.

Today on our Senior Behavioral Unit, we shared the true spirit of Christmas.

Our unit came together to celebrate both our incredible staff and our patients with a Christmas party filled with warmth and joy.

Eggnog and hot cocoa were poured, cookies were enjoyed, and gifts were shared—but the most meaningful part was the smiles, laughter, and sense of togetherness.

Moments like these remind us that healing is about more than care plans and medications—it’s about connection, dignity, and creating joy wherever we can.

We are so grateful for our dedicated team and the patients who allow us to walk alongside them each day.

Holiday magic doesn’t erase stress, emotions, or challenges, and that’s okay. Give yourself space to breathe, feel, and take care of your mental wellness. 💙

This Christmas, we’re coming together to make sure every patient feels remembered and loved. ❤️🎄

We are currently accepting donations so that each patient will have a gift to open on Christmas Day—a simple gesture that carries so much hope, dignity, and comfort during a difficult season.

We were also incredibly touched by a dear friend who delivered the most beautiful handmade Christmas ornaments yesterday, each one made with care and generosity. These ornaments are more than decorations—they’re reminders that kindness still shows up, even when it’s least expected.
