Bring Your Resume. Bring Your Curiosity. Bring Your Crew, Too!

We’re opening our doors (1233 Main Street, Holyoke, Mass.) on April 16th from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM and inviting RNs and LPNs to explore what a career in behavioral health can look like at MiraVista. We’re growing and creating space for nurses who are ready to make a meaningful impact.

Because you’re balancing a lot already, your crew is welcome, too. Coloring, board games, and a variety of activities will be available on site so you can focus on your future while your children stay engaged.

Want to learn more before April 16th? Reach out, Alicia would love to hear from you: amorel@miravistabhc.care

The Little Things That “Stick”

Throughout the month, when the need feels real, Director of Nursing, Alison TellierFox leaves something small but meaningful at reception—one of the busiest places in the hospital. Not just one sticker, but many.

With a quiet sensitivity to the rhythm of the day, Alison seems to know when the moment is right. She leaves them out with intention, tuned in to the atmosphere and the needs of the team.

Each one features a tiny critter -- turtles, porcupines, sharks, ducks -- paired with a message that meets people right where they are:
“I may be little, but I’m cheering you on.”
“I may be small and spiky, but I’ve got a big heart—and so do you.”

They’re scattered across the desk, waiting to be noticed, picked up, and carried along.

In the middle of a fast-paced day, they offer a pause. A smile. A quiet reminder that someone is thinking of you.

It says a lot about Alison—her thoughtfulness, her leadership, and her deep care for those around her. It’s what she brings every day: the kind of thoughtfulness, concern, and support that really “sticks.”

It was a one-time thing — or so we thought!

Recently we shared an unintentional “twins” moment from two members of our Social Work team who just so happened to wear nearly identical sweaters. Well, it happened again!

This time, two of our providers crossed paths and immediately realized they were sporting identical looks. (Cue the laughter echoing through the hallways when they saw each other.)

Different roles. Different people. Same kind of moment.

At this point, we’re starting to wonder if there's a subliminal MiraVista signal we don’t know about, or are we quietly organizing a Twining Day without realizing it? Either way, we’re here for it.

These candid, upbeat moments—the ones that spark laughter and a genuine appreciation for one another—are a reminder that what we’re building here goes beyond the work itself. It’s the kind of culture you don’t plan but you’re lucky to be part of.

Could a trilogy moment be next?

America may run on Dunkin’, but today our focus is closer to home and on our good friend, Jose at the Gandara Center Hope for Holyoke Peer Recovery Center.

Today, we learned it is Jose's birthday and MiraVista wanted to help celebrate. Jose is behind the wheel of the Recovery Center’s Highway to Hope van, helping make connection and care possible every single day.

So today, we’re making sure he knows we “donut” ever forget how grateful we are. Because transportation isn’t just a ride—it’s access.

Access to outpatient substance use treatment. Access to inpatient mental health care. Access to the next step forward.

Jose, thank you for all that you do—and for the miles you travel to make a difference in the lives of others.

Happy Birthday! 🎉

Great minds think alike and today, they dressed alike, too!

It wasn’t planned, coordinated, or even discussed—but somehow, Social Work Supervisor, Heather Sprouse and Social Worker, Jermaine Jenkins showed up to MiraVista wearing almost the exact same sweater — just in different colors.

Same style. Same vibe. Same “wait, are you seeing this too?” moment.

It gave us a reason to pause, smile, and appreciate one of those small, unexpected connections that make a team feel like a team.

Because in this work, alignment shows up in more ways than one—through shared purpose, mutual respect, and sometimes…just a really great sweater.

We’ll call it what it is: alignment at every level!

Nurses—this one’s for you AND your crew!

Taking the next step in your career isn’t always easy—especially when life outside of work matters just as much as the work itself.

That’s why we’re doing things a little differently.

On April 16 from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM, we’re opening our doors at MiraVista Behavioral Health Center for a family-friendly hiring event—and yes, you’re welcome to bring your crew. Child-friendly activities will be available onsite so you can take the time to explore what’s next, connect with our nursing team, and learn more about opportunities here.

As Coreen Lord, our Director of Talent Acquisition, shared, “We know that for many nurses, exploring a new opportunity isn’t just about updating a resume—it’s about finding the time and space to take that next step. By creating a welcoming, child-friendly environment, we’re removing one more barrier and opening the door a little wider. We want nurses to be able to come as they are—whether that means bringing their experience, their questions, or their crew.”

We’re growing—recently expanding with 10 new inpatient beds—and with that growth comes opportunity. At MiraVista, nurses will find meaningful work, a supportive team, and the chance to make a real difference in the lives of adolescents and adults across New England.

Whether you’re exploring full-time, part-time, or per diem roles, we’d love to meet you -- and your crew! Take a moment to learn more here: https://www.miravistabhc.care/miravista-launches-family-friendly-nursing-hiring-event/

In recognition of last week's National Doctors’ Day, we had the opportunity to celebrate our exceptional provider team with professional headshots—supporting their work as subject matter experts, enhancing their professional presence, and supporting their engagement across clinical, academic, and professional communities.

While capturing those individual moments, we captured something else, too. A moment of laughter. Of connection. Of a team that cares deeply—for the people they serve and for one another—taking a moment to simply enjoy each other’s company. Moments like this matter, too.

We’re grateful for this team and the compassion, dedication, and humanity they bring to their work—and to the field of mental health—each and every day.

A new week is here—and with it, new space to begin again. Not perfectly. Not all at once. Just begin.

Take the pressure off. Start small. Be kind to yourself along the way. A deep breath. A short pause. One thing at a time.

At MiraVista, we believe progress doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful. Sometimes the quietest steps forward are the ones that matter most.

And if today feels heavy, that’s okay, too. You don’t have to carry it all at once. There is strength in slowing down, in reaching out, in simply continuing. Because care isn’t just for the start of the week. It’s here at MiraVista — every day, whenever it’s needed.

Wishing you a Monday filled with steady moments, small wins, and a little light to guide the way.
