Brandy didn’t fully understand addiction until it nearly cost her everything. After a life‑threatening overdose, she made a choice to fight for her life, and that’s when she connected with Wayspring.

With Sara by her side, Brandy found steady support, trust, and someone who saw all of her.

“She actually cares about me as a person.”

Today, Brandy works full‑time, drives her own car, and is on the Dean’s List studying social work so she can help others find their way, too.

Brandy’s story shows what’s possible when no one has to recover alone.

We’re proud of Cindy Raymond and grateful to NewsChannel 5 Nashville for helping share her story.

At Wayspring, our Second Chance Scholarship program reflects a simple belief: people deserve support, dignity, and the chance to move forward.

Cindy Raymond is among the first recipients of Wayspring’s Second Chance Scholarship, which helps employees pay legal costs to seal or expunge past criminal records. Wayspring’s chief HR officer said, “If we had said no to her because of something that happened 15 years ago, our company would not be as great of a company.”

Last week, our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Michael Frost, spoke at the Opioid Crisis Management Congress in Austin, TX, on how emerging substances beyond fentanyl are reshaping overdose risk and care delivery. Dr. Frost specifically explored the patterns of misuse, clinical implications, and policy challenges associated with these emerging threats.

At Wayspring, we are proud that our Chief Medical Officer is shaping the evolving conversation around the crisis, enabling health plans and providers to stay ahead of trends and develop strategies that address emerging challenges.

Wayspring’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Michael Frost, also weighs in on how small, strategic adjustments can meaningfully reduce unexpected discharges — often without additional staff or financial investment.
