Celebrating Hope's 1-Year Anniversary

The Chesapeake Healthcare Center would like to recognize Hope Hartz on her 1 year workaversary! Hope has worked in the behavioral health field for 15+ years. She brings all of that experience along with her calm, professional way of interacting with others to CHC. Her patients tell us, “I feel like Hope can help me because she knows a thing or two and she has been doing this a while -so I believe something when she tells it to me”, “Hope is the only counselor I will see – when she takes a vacation ….I take a vacation…it is that important for me to see her”, “She is always professional, never dramatic, I feel like I am getting the best care at CHC with Hope as my therapist”

 

We celebrated Hope last month with a Tina Turner themed cookout that was SIMPLY THE BEST!
