Go Colonels! ❤️

So proud of our 2026 Golden Brain team! 🧠✨

While they didn’t bring home the Golden Brain this year, they represented us with confidence, professionalism, and incredible knowledge at the KSHA Convention — and that’s a win in our book!

We were honored to hear Mrs. Adria Thompson deliver a powerful Keynote at the KSHA Convention reminding us that our patients are the true experts in their own care. Her message centered on actively involving individuals in treatment decisions—because meaningful, effective therapy happens with our patients, not just for them.

Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for inspiring us to lead with collaboration, respect, and patient-centered care! 👏💬
