Fora Health is happy to welcome Kelsie Crippen as she joins our board of Directors.

Fora Health had a wonderful and successful holiday season for patients and staff. We had festive events, treats, decorations, and plenty of gifts thanks to the 4th annual toy drive! Thanks to everyone who supports the recovery community and makes this all possible.

KGW recently did a feature on how people can maintain sobriety during the holiday season and interviewed Fora Health’s Peer Mentor Supervisor Mike Hovey and the most recent speaker in our Let’s Discuss series, Mike Veny. 

Through the generosity of our donors, patients like Lindsey experience acceptance, develop new coping and life skills, and healing at Fora Health. Most importantly, they gain a newfound HOPE for their future.
