In this Summer 2022 issue of our Center Line Newsletter we highlight important changes in Leadership at CHS, celebrate the retirement of our Behavioral Health Director, Rosemary McFadden, welcome new leadership, and introduce a new program that provides housing for single mothers and their children at Thompson’s Place.
A Lasting Legacy
For the past 22 years, Rosemary began her days with a commute from her home in Stockton to her work in Modesto. It marks one of many parts to her daily routine that is changing as she transitions into retirement. She leaves behind a lasting legacy of guiding Behavioral Health’s growth and helping it blossom into the robust department it is today.
Our New Director
Steve Collins first joined CHS in 2003 as a volunteer in the practicum program, then took a clinician position after completing graduate school and earning his license. As he steps into his new role of Behavioral Health Director, his goal is to help behavioral health at the agency and county level.
Strong Capable and Resourceful
Two Gen is a new low-cost residential program at Thompson Place for single moms and their children, designed to disrupt the cycle of poverty. Single moms will have access to life skills coaching, career opportunities, social connections, general assistance, and self-care activities.
