Message from Gina Soulier in the Therapy Department:

I would like to take this opportunity to share with you several exciting things that have been happening in our department along with some changes we will be making to better serve our families.

I am very passionate about our new services and how effective they have been. These new services add to the cohesiveness of our mission and opportunities for consumers. As you can see all three services have been growing with an increased growth in Music and Recreational Therapy. I currently have 5 music therapists on staff and 1 Recreational Therapist. We are growing and that is wonderful!

In order to accommodate and provide quality therapeutic services to every individual that is in need of our services, we must become facility based. It is vital to provide our therapeutic services in a safe and structured area where the therapists have room, less distractions, and use of instruments and tools. This new change will only affect Music and Recreational Therapy.

We are excited about this change and very much believe that it will allow even more independence and individualism among our consumers.
