Waypoint is an internationally recognized hospital whose excellent staff and medical professionals are dedicated to helping society's vulnerable populations overcome and manage their mental health challenges.”
“We are a community committed to serving our clients in their times of greatest need and to reducing the stigma of mental health issues. I'm proud to be part of the great things happening at Waypoint and I’d encourage everyone to learn more about mental health and how we can support those suffering in silence.”
