Our Story

Over the years, the organization has evolved to provide comprehensive health care and supportive housing for the de-institutionalized mentally ill and other underserved populations. Since becoming a federally qualified health center in 1980, it has served over 6,000 clients annually, ensuring immediate access to essential mental health services.
