In the last business year, the Irving Community Clinic’s Behavioral Health Program delivered 4,758 encounters, with patients receiving 6–8 sessions each. The program achieved a 58% reduction in depression symptoms and a 45% reduction in anxiety, providing lasting tools for improved mental health.

Gernard, our Music Practitioner, provides music therapy to patients during his two days on site each week. In the last business year, he visited 676 patients, offering moments of comfort, peace, and even joy in the midst of their hospital stay.
