What's up in public health this week?
In this two-part conversation, we take a closer look at the Longview Acute Care Facility, a key part of the region’s mental health crisis care system, and explore how its work is evolving to meet the needs of the community.
Our guests are Dr. Lesley Brooks, SummitStone’s Chief Medical Officer and Executive Director at Longview, and Cassie Damato, SummitStone’s Director of Acute Services. They walk us through what Longview is, how it got started, and the role it plays in providing care to people experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis.
We also discuss two major developments in Longview’s work: a new public data dashboard that provides more visibility into the services they provide and a new youth acute care wing, which opened in December 2025.
