Here’s a nice photo taken on the lake yesterday by Ed O’Connor. Nice job Ed and we appreciate your sharing. Like I said, we all should try to get outside and enjoy. Note that great blue sky folks!

Garrett Regional Medical Center’s Family Health & Wellness Services, through their partnership with Sheppard Pratt Health System, has expanded child and adolescent mental health care in the region with telepsychiatry. GRMC patients will have real-time consultation appointments with Sheppard Pratt psychiatrists and licensed mental health providers. Through video conferencing they will assess a patient’s behavioral health needs and provide counseling, therapy, and comprehensive treatment plans. Well done GRMC!
