Happy Holidays to all of you! I hope the warmth and joy of the season are upon you and your family. As we approach the end of 2023, I want to express my gratitude for the community partnerships that support the mission of CHI and the team that works tirelessly to care for our patients and keep our health centers running at a high-quality level. I also want our patients to know that we are so thankful for the opportunity to serve as your medical home. We know you have a choice and putting your healthcare in our hands is a privilege that we take very seriously. 

The holidays are usually associated with joy and celebration, but not for some. Together we can make a difference. If you know someone who is alone, depressed, or suffering this holiday season, you can be the light to carry them through. We have a compassionate team of psychiatrists, therapists and more who are ready to help. Don’t delay in getting behavioral healthcare to change your mindset or help someone else change theirs.  

I’m very pleased with the progress I’m seeing as the construction of our Children’s Crisis Center moves forward. Crews have completed pouring the concrete slab that serves as the base of the center. Right now, they are making the steel structure. We hope the project will be complete by the end of 2024 so that we can have a special place to heal the young hearts and minds of children with severe mental health issues in our community. If you’re looking for an impactful gift this holiday season, consider buying a Brick of Hope. The bricks will line the entrance of the Children’s Crisis Center and can be personalized with your name or a loved one’s name. It’s a lasting impact that will always connect that person to the mission of helping these children. Just visit chisouthfl.org/bricksofhope or call (786) 293-5504. 

I wish you all love, happiness and good health in the New Year! 

 

Yours Truly,
