VISION
The vision of Mentisano to aspire to live out our ministry of healing and caring to fulfill the need for quality services offered in an accepting and loving environment. We seek to provide an ever widening and enriched continuum of high-quality services. We commit ourselves to the principles of acceptance and love thereby enabling us to carry out God’s work with integrity and compassion.
At Mentisano we aspire to empower individuals to become healthy by proactively working with them to:
Recognize the areas of their lives they are not satisfied with and provide education and therapeutic resources to begin their journey of change.
This goal will be achieved by utilizing:
The 8 Dimensions of Wellness – an assessment tool designed to help clients determine what areas of their lives they perceive dissatisfaction.
Chronic Care Model – this model establishes a partnership between providers and community-based populations; partnerships that commit to patient education and health by a well-informed practice team with varied knowledge, health modalities and common patient goals for mind, body and spirit health.
Community – provide respect, support, acceptance, hope, compassion and unity so clients can work towards goals in an environment that helps them thrive through partnerships with existing community services and services provided on campus.
ABOUT US
Mentisano is an Italian word meaning Whole Mind. At Mentisano we believe being healthy encompasses Mind, Body and Spirit. Much like a three-legged stool cannot remain upright without all three legs intact, individuals cannot experience Whole Health without finding satisfaction in Mind, Body and Spirit.
