Loren Fouch, our CEO, is a proud military wife, and many of our dedicated team members are veterans themselves. We are committed to providing compassionate care to those who have given so much to our country.

Help for Veterans in Crisis
Did you know that the Veterans Comprehensive Prevention, Access to Care and Treatment (COMPACT) Act is now in effect?
Veterans who were discharged in any way other than dishonorably who are experiencing a suicidal crisis can go to any mental healthcare facility for no-cost healthcare in times of crisis. This expansion of care is designed to help prevent veteran suicide by guaranteeing no-cost mental treatment.
The act allows the VA to:
- Provide, pay for or reimburse for treatment of eligible individuals’ emergency suicide care, transportation costs and follow-up care at a VA or non-VA facility for up to 30 days of inpatient
- Make appropriate referrals for care following the period of emergency suicide care
