A History of Community Care
Since opening our doors in 1971, we have helped thousands of young people and adults achieve hope, health and recovery. We have grown over the years in response to changing community needs and to keep pace with advances in addiction science and new models of integrated behavioral and physical care. Through the years, we have remained committed to our core values and our mission to provide our communities access to world-class primary care, addictions treatment, behavioral health care and prevention services to promote health and restore lives.
