The holiday season is upon us, and I want to take a moment to reflect on the gratitude I feel for the incredible individuals who make our mission at CHI possible. From our dedicated staff to our valued community partners, thank you for being an important part of our journey.

To our patients, we are honored to serve as your medical home. Trusting CHI with your healthcare is an honor we take seriously, and we remain committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care.

While the holidays bring joy and celebration for many, they can also be a time of difficulty for some. If you or someone you know is feeling alone, overwhelmed or in need of support, please know that help is available. Our skilled and compassionate team of psychiatrists, therapists and behavioral health professionals is here to guide you or your loved ones toward healing and hope.

As we close out 2024, I’m excited to share the progress on our Children’s Crisis Center. The underground utilities are complete, the steel beams are rising, and soon the walls will take shape. Each step brings us closer to creating a transformative space where young hearts and minds can heal.

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give back this holiday season, consider purchasing a Brick of Hope. These personalized bricks will line the entrance of the Children’s Crisis Center and serve as a lasting tribute to your generosity and commitment to helping children in need. To learn more, visit chisouthfl.org/bricksofhope.

Additionally, I invite you to join us on December 3rd for our World AIDS Day Candlelight Memorial at the Doris Ison Health Center at 7:00 p.m. Together, we’ll honor the lives lost to HIV and AIDS, stand in solidarity with those still fighting and celebrate the progress made. This special event will feature heartfelt stories from survivors and a chance to reflect on the impact we can continue to make. As we approach the new year, I encourage you to prioritize your health, schedule your annual checkup and tell your loved ones to do the same. Let’s start 2025 with a commitment to wellness and community.

With gratitude,
