Years in the Making
What’s On Your Mind
Our mental health team has expanded! Meet Luna, the smallest team member at His Branches! Luna is a loving 7-year-old therapy dog who works alongside her handler, our Director of Behavioral Health, Rebecca, during select patient appointments. Earlier this year, Luna earned her Canine Good Citizen certification and graduated from therapy dog training. She is a proud graduate and member of RocDog.
Interactions with therapy dogs can provide meaningful support. Studies have demonstrated that therapy dogs help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, often by lowering stress hormones like cortisol, increasing feel-good chemicals such as oxytocin, and promoting a sense of calm and connection. Their presence can also ease loneliness, build rapport in therapy sessions, encourage emotional expression, and support overall well-being for patients.
We’re excited to have Luna’s warm and supportive presence as an additional tool to support our clients on their mental health journeys as we continue to meet the needs of our community. You can learn more about our Mental Health program and meet our therapists HERE.

All Roads
Flexibility was the key word for our team this past year as we navigated three phases of construction through major renovations on our Arnett clinic. With the addition of several new exam and counseling spaces, staff offices, updated lobby and lab, and a fresh exterior and community room, our full space is up and running, and we are thrilled to welcome patients and guests into a space that offers dignity, peace, quality, and care to all who enter.

Come to Light
Obesity, pain, and chronic diseases continue to rob our patients of years from their life and life from their years. To confront this reality, we’ve implemented two new programs: Lifestyle Medicine and Softwave Therapy. Lifestyle Medicine is designed to treat, reverse, and prevent chronic conditions like cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity by empowering patients to make targeted behavior changes. Softwave Therapy is utilized to treat wounds and chronic pain. Both of these services will increase our patients’ ability to live and move with greater ease. We are also continuing to expand our Migrant Health Assessment Program, which successfully launched in 2025 thanks to an investment from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation.
Between Us
Our door for expanding our Beechwood Clinic has been shut for the time being. However, through this process, an opportunity to expand to another neighborhood with increasing needs has opened up. The Center4Hope, located in Greece, currently serves 850 individuals through their food market and resource connectors. The overlap of values and complimentary services creates the synergy required for both of our organizations to serve our community toward longer and healthier lives. This location allows us to grow from a two room office to a space with up to seven medical and mental health rooms. We expect construction to begin by fall of 2026.
