Welcome from Our CEO

Dear Parents,

Corey Jackson, Chief Executive Officer

I am committed to providing the best inpatient treatment to the children and adolescents in the community by leading our staff to possess compassion and professionalism in everything they do. We work together with our patients and families for the most positive outcomes. Psychiatric, inpatient care involves high stress levels for patients, parents and staff throughout the treatment process. There isn’t a “one size fits all solution” for children and adolescents needing inpatient or residential treatment. Our treatment team and supporting staff all play a key role ensuring that our patient’s presenting psychiatric symptoms improve and our hopes are that they discharge with the confidence to maintain continued success in the community.

I challenge our team to keep a servant leadership focus: listening, empathy, commitment to growth, stewardship and healing as top priorities in their daily work lives. Everyone at Laurel Heights Hospital has the opportunity to be a mentor and a role model for patients through caring interactions with safety as our utmost priority. Throughout the year we will focus on community engagement and service, by participating in projects that allow us to connect with those in need. We will continually strive to be better than we were yesterday through transparency, accountability, continuously evaluating our performance, including all needed parties and nurturing all relationships in and outside of our hospital.

Sincerely,
Corey Jackson
CEO, Laurel Heights Hospital
