FORT MYERS, Fla. — SalusCare’s Crisis Stabilization Unit is finally reopening on Monday, May 15, after an eight-month closure due to Hurricane Ian.

SalusCare sustained extensive flooding damage to their 46-bed Crisis Stabilization Unit in Fort Myers. After going back and forth with insurance companies for months, they decided in order to open they would have to pay for renovations out of pocket.

The newly renovated facility features brand-new beds, floors, drywall and paint. To add more character, the facility also added colorful murals to the children’s unit. 

Stacey Cook, the President and CEO of SalusCare, said she’s excited to get back to serving the community.

“The ultimate goal is to get the people that we serve, which is you,” said Cook, “and I, we, the collective, we want to connect them with all of the services that they need to continue their recovery journey.”
