We had an awesome time celebrating Juneteenth with our young patients! Shout-out to our expressive therapy team for hosting fun games on the playground along with some tunes 🎡 and a cookout 🌭!

Here at Garfield Park Behavioral Hospital, we care a lot about letting kids be kids, so days like these are important. It’s a chance to celebrate culture, honor history and spend time together. β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ’š

πŸ“£ Shout-out to Michael Scianna for Healthcare Risk Management Week!

His work keeps patient voices at the center of everything we do, and we're grateful to have him helping and advocating for our patients here at Garfield Park Behavioral Hospital, too!

πŸ‘‹ Meet someone who's always got our patients' backs.

As our patient engagement specialist, Michael Scianna makes sure nothing slips through the cracks as he serves as a voice and advocate for every single patient that walks through our doors. He's been with Hartgrove for 6 years, starting as a mental health specialist (MHS) and moving into a program specialist before stepping into his current role 7 months ago, and we're spotlighting him for Healthcare Risk Management Week.

From Michael: πŸ’¬ "I like helping people in a very direct way. We provide very good programming, and there's a lot more structure than you generally see at other places. Safety always comes first here, and we want patients to leave feeling like they've accomplished something positive."

His role is all about collaboration. Making sure patients get the right treatment, at the right time, in the right way helps reduce risk and keeps everyone safer. We appreciate Michael constantly linking teams together, speaking up for patients and make sure their experience feels right from start to finish (and even after they leave).

For centuries, people used 🌟 Polaris, commonly referred to as the North Star, to navigate long and difficult journeys. Today young people face many challenges and stressors on their journey, especially when living as a gender or sexual minority.

We want the Polaris Program at Garfield Park Behavioral Hospital to serve as the North Star for LGBTQ+ adolescents who may need support managing anxiety, depression or other mental health struggles. We care about helping teens find their direction again when everything feels off course.

We’re not here to tell anyone who to be. πŸšΆβ€βž‘οΈ We walk alongside them while they figure that out. πŸ’š

Pumped for today's match! ⚽

πŸ‘ Go USA! πŸ‘

πŸ“£ Let's go USA! πŸ™Œ

We're in the ⚽ spirit here at Hartgrove and at our sister hospital, Garfield Park Behavioral Hospital, where staff members wore the colors of their favorite teams. We had lots of Mexico fans yesterday (congrats on the win!), with the USA out in full force for today's match.

Even our leadership team got in on the action! That's Keith Henderson (left), group director of human resources, and Vernard Alsberry III (right), group director of business development. And while they each professionally played that other kind of football (🏈), they're still feeling the vibes!

πŸ‘€ Take a look back at our Chicagoland business development team meeting, hosted by Riveredge Hospital and joined by our friends from Streamwood Behavioral Healthcare System and Hartgrove Behavioral Health System.

We're all working toward the same goal: helping people get the care they need. So we swapped ideas, shared what’s working and learned from each other.

At the end of the day, it’s about the community as a whole. We're all here to open more doors, reach more people and find new ways to support those who need quality behavioral healthcare. (And yeah, we had some fun too! πŸ˜„)

πŸ™Œ Congrats Matthew Cramer, MHA!So happy to have you on the team! 😁

πŸ™Œ Congrats Matthew Cramer, MHA!

So happy to have you on the team! 😁

πŸŽ“πŸ‘ Congratulations to our very own Matthew Cramer on receiving his Master of Healthcare Administration from Loyola University Chicago (Parkinson School of Health Sciences and Public Health, Loyola Chicago)!

He joined Hartgrove and our sister hospital, Garfield Park Behavioral Hospital, as a group business development specialist a few months ago, and we're so proud of everything he's accomplished so far! He’s deeply passionate about expanding access to behavioral healthcare, especially for underserved communities, and he’s all in when it comes to serving patients with the highest level of acuity (a group that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves).

Here's what he said about his time here: πŸ’¬ "I'm excited to apply my knowledge to a community that has historically been underserved. Everyone struggles with their mental health at some point, and behavioral health has always had a special place for me. The dedication, resources and knowledge behind our specialty programs truly meet the ever-changing needs of our patients, and there’s a genuine desire from our teams to integrate with and support the communities we serve."

Matthew really hit the ground running here, and we look forward to seeing him continue to grow in his career!

Feedback like this is exactly why we created the Polaris Program! 🌈😁

Our clinicians saw the need: LGBTQ+ teens trying to make sense of who they are while also dealing with anxiety, depression, identity struggles and sometimes not feeling fully accepted at home, school or in their communities. That’s a lot for anyone, especially when you’re still growing up.

We had to do something.

So we built a highly specialized program where LGBTQ+ teens can show up as themselves without hesitation. A place where they feel understood, supported and safe enough to actually start working through what’s going on beneath the surface.

As summer starts and routines shift, things may feel heavier. If your teen struggles, 🌟 Polaris can help. πŸ’š
