This week, Maddie Stewart departs Places for People to enter medical school in pursuit of her dream to become a doctor. The two years Stewart spent at Places for People – first as a volunteer and then as an employee – have made an impact on her future focus. “It’s made me commit to community health as the basis for what I do,” she said.
Places for People provides an unparalleled toolkit of programs, services, and resources for people living with mental illnesses and substance use disorders, typically accompanied by complex and multilayered challenges: chronic homelessness, primary health disorders, and trauma. Our mission is to provide caring, effective services to help those with the greatest challenges recover from mental illness, substance use disorders and associated chronic illnesses.
