Last week, we proudly celebrated the ribbon-cutting for our newly renovated Patriot Support Program! We were honored to welcome so many dedicated military personnel who are committed to advancing mental health treatment. They toured our updated unit, met our incredible team and saw the specialized care we provide for veterans, active-duty service members and their families. This renovation is more than just new walls; it's a renewed promise to those who have served, ensuring they receive the support, respect and care they deserve.
Pictured left to right are Victoria Ellis; CEO, Dean Dotty; and Division Director Patriot Support Program, Samuel Driver.

This week, the Gulfport Behavioral Health System team had the privilege of visiting the WOW Care Closet , a local non-profit dedicated to serving and empowering women in our community. The WOW Care Closet offers free professional and business casual attire, including suits, dresses, shoes, hygiene products and more, to women who are entering or re-entering the workforce, preparing for court, attending church or simply in need of a confidence boost.
Several of our team members found great items, and we were so inspired by the mission of WOW: to restore hope, build self-esteem and ensure every woman walks forward with strength and dignity. Thank you, WOW, for the incredible work you do.
