Good morning, Pike County. When it comes to transforming lives, the numbers tell a powerful story—$7.9 million is being invested in our region's mental health future through Paint Valley ADAMH's new behavioral health crisis center. Breaking ground soon in Ross County, this facility promises to deliver crucial 23-hour observation services by April 2026, while mobile response teams are already making a difference for youth experiencing emotional difficulties across our communities.
The transformative power of art will soon be on display at Ohio University Chillicothe, where the Patricia Scott Memorial Gallery will showcase the creative talents of the campus community beginning April 4. "Art plays an important part in our lives," notes Dean Roberta Milliken—a timely reminder that whether through mental health resources or artistic expression, our community continues to invest in the wellbeing of both mind and spirit.
