What’s New at Madonna Heights
Madonna Heights to Open New Health and Wellness Center
Madonna Heights will be home to a new Health and Wellness Center for Women thanks to a grant from the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program.
The award will allow Madonna Heights to expand health services for women and children in our care through a new outpatient substance use treatment clinic; a new primary medical care clinic in partnership with a strategic health partner; and the expansion of mental health treatment at our Family Service Clinic.
Madonna Heights is officially Sanctuary Certified
