As we near the end of the year, I want you to know that our mission to provide quality healthcare to our patients and community remains as strong as ever. With the opening of our two health centers just around the corner, exciting developments are on the horizon. We are hard at work, and construction is nearly complete. The Key Largo and Coconut Grove Health Centers will open this fall, bringing top-notch care to even more people. This expansion continues the legacy of Doris Ison, ensuring that healthcare is accessible to all in South Miami-Dade and Monroe counties.

September is Suicide Prevention Month, so I want to take a moment to reflect on the importance of mental health awareness, especially during the difficult times we all face. Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it’s crucial to remember that prioritizing our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health.

To the incredible patients we serve here at Community Health of South Florida, Inc. (CHI): You are the heart of our community, constantly ensuring your loved ones are supported and cared for. This month, I want to encourage you to take a step back and focus on your own well-being. Mental health struggles can affect anyone at any time, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

CHI is here for you every step of the way. We offer a full range of behavioral health services with compassionate, highly trained psychiatrists and therapists ready to support you in your time of need. Whether you or someone you know is experiencing stress, anxiety, depression or any other mental health concerns, our team is dedicated to helping you navigate these challenges. We want you to know that your mental health matters, and there is always hope.

This Suicide Prevention Month, let’s break the stigma and start the conversation. Mental health is health, and it’s time we all make it a priority. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and schedule an appointment with our behavioral health specialists at chisouthfl.org/appointment-requests.

Together, we can build a healthier, more compassionate community. Thank you for being an essential part of CHI, and for allowing us to be a part of your journey.

With gratitude,
