This National Health Center Week, we're highlighting the dedicated team members who make a difference in the communities we serve.

Alexandra Headley, LPCC-A
Behavioral Health Provider

What I enjoy most about working at Scenic Rivers Health Services is the opportunity to work with a variety of patients and collaborate with coworkers across multiple locations. I love that our medical, dental, and behavioral health teams work together to support the whole person because that kind of teamwork isn't something you find everywhere.

To me, community health means being part of the community you serve. When you live and work alongside your patients, you gain a deeper understanding of the challenges that affect both physical and mental health.

What makes SRHS unique is our team-based approach. By coordinating medical, dental, and behavioral health services, we can help patients address their needs in a more complete and connected way.

💙 Happy National Health Center Week!
