Guiding Star Cedar Valley aims to take a wholistic approach to healthcare, and mental health is a key component of overall healthy individuals.

We are here to support you and your mental health needs. Whether that is scheduling an appointment with our mental health provider, being seen and heard during a breastfeeding consultation, sharing your needs and concerns during a care consult, or taking a breather during your appointment while your children are safely cared for in childwatch. Your mental health is so important, and we are here for you.

Today, we recognize World Mental Health Day. But everyday, we aim to provide mental health support and resources to you and your families.

We are thrilled to announce Paul Lee as our emcee for this year's annual Charity Gala!🌟

Paul Lee is a husband to his wife Amanda, father to kids Jordan (Macie), Noah, Stephen, and Josephine, grandfather to Korra and Grace who focuses on his relationship with God and using the gifts given by God to better God's people. Whether that is offering a hug, making a connection, or standing up for the marginalized- Paul is fiercely passionate for bettering society. Outside of his professional, civic, governmental, and nonprofit service both locally, regionally, and nationally, he loves food, new experiences, and meeting people.

Paul accepted an invitation to join the very first Advisory Board for GSCV because he recognized a need to expand on the traditional model of family and women's healthcare. He saw the need to get strong men from throughout the community to stand up and be advocates for life-affirming care, and recognized that those in positions of influence have a duty to use such influence for the glory of God and the salvation of His people. He has continued due to the strong partnerships that have been established and the outlook for the future.

We are so thankful for Paul and his continued "yes" to Guiding Star, our mission, and this year's gala!🌟
