Dr. Anita Johnston, our Senior Adivisor and Clinial Consultant's view:

What I hear is there are bright people here who are interested in the work they provide whether it’s the medical, therapeutic, or administrative piece.  There is predictability.  There is a solid structure in place.  There is cohesion.  There is teamwork.  There is a big beating heart at Focus.  Compassion. Caring. Belief.  The staff  have a genuine hope in recovery.  You believe in a quality of life.  An excellence in care.  And I think what drives it all is that tremendous heart you have for what you do.

The patients feel that.  It’s a beautiful building, yes.  But we respond to how we are treated in the beautiful building.  What you have here is quite rare. My friend and colleague Carolyn Costin says the most fundamental thing we have to offer patients is TRUTH WITHOUT JUDGMENT.  You have found a way to do that here.  Deliver truth without sounding mean or being mean.  Truth without judgment coming from a big beating heart for finding recovery and one day to be fully recovered.
