Gulf Coast Center leadership met with Representative Jeff Barry to tour the new Galveston County Mental Health Wellness Center and discuss its future operations.

This new facility represents an important step forward in expanding access to mental health services and ensuring individuals receive the care they need in the right setting.

“Care should not begin in jails or emergency rooms.” — Felicia Jeffery, CEO of Gulf Coast Center

Gulf Coast Center is ready to lead this transformation and continue building a stronger, more supportive system of care for our community.
