Tennessee
“It has certainly been a year of transition. Centerstone has not only survived during the pandemic, but it has thrived. And that is due to our staff’s remarkable ability to transition. We have become experts at transitioning patient services to telehealth. We’re online providing psychosocial services, outpatient services, school-based care, and even therapeutic foster care services. All of these changes have occurred alongside a number of internal transitions—like our move to the Avatar electronic health record. The team has performed beyond my wildest dreams and for that I am so thankful.”
Ben Middleton, MS | Regional Chief Executive Officer, Tennessee
