SAFE HARBOR CELEBRATES 10 YEARS SERVING OUR COMMUNITY
Northern Pines Mental Health Center's Residential Crisis Treatment Center is run by Christiann Scofield.
Christiann shared her thoughts on this great event:

Hello everyone!
Can you believe it… 10 years of service to the mission of providing integrated community care to adults served in IRTS/RCS!

Safe Harbor was faced with a challenge during the unprecedented times that the COVID-19 global pandemic brought on. We remained a front-line facility while being in the middle of becoming licensed to serve individuals in an IRTS level (longer-term, up to 90 day stay) capacity.

Since then we have seen change, construction occurred on more than one occasion, there were a few rounds of baby woodchucks born under the back deck and best of all, we have changed the lives of so many individuals!

Seeing the impact that this house has had on this community in our region is seriously the best feeling. Seeing the hard work that Safe Harbor staff put into each day to make sure that our clients receive the highest level of care, these staff give their all!

Thank you to everyone for your referrals and your support!

Cheers to many more years!

BAY LAKE RETREAT CENTER AWARDED NEW AED
The Bay Lake Retreat Center was recently recognized & awarded a new AED as part of the Essentia Health – St. Joseph’s Foundation Take Heart Program. The program provides support for CPR training & AED’s for non-profit organizations. The response time for cardiac emergencies is critical & dramatically improves survivability. “We are very grateful & fortunate to have been selected to be part of this program. The Bay Lake Retreat Center, being on an island, poses a bit of a challenge if a cardiac emergency occurs. The new AED will be placed in the lodge, while the existing AED is in the dining hall.” Says Ivan Bartha, Bay Lake Retreat Center Director.

We will be registering both AED’s with PulsePoint, which is a 911-connected mobile app connected with local EMS. The PulsePoint app allows CPR trained bystanders to see where the closest AED is located when a cardiac emergency occurs. “Having AED’s is great, but it is equally important for our first responders, community members, neighbors and staff to know where they are located to reduce response time.” Bartha said.

Bay Lake Retreat Center is affiliated with Northern Pines Mental Health Center and is engaged in prevention and support for mental health issues.
