Committed to Healing, Empowering Lives
Lighthouse Behavioral Health Center
Founded in 2013, Community Wellness Center of Freedom Healthcare, LLC has aided over 2,500 of the most vulnerable through its 3 programs and 17 affiliate support agencies in Prince Georges County and Baltimore City Maryland.
Our Story
Through the privelage of providing supporive housing services to low-income individuals and families, members of our executive leadership came to the realization that individuals who experienced chronic homelessness also often coped with severe and persistent mental illness. In fact, mental illness was the main underlying contributor to most of our clients’ disparities.
In 2013, a mental health group practice and freestanding general clinic was formed to service persons housed in affiliate assisted living facilities. Three years later, the practice devloped into an outpatient mental health clinic and psychiatric rehabilitation program. It relocated to Highlandtown at that time. The medical primary care services recently moved to a larger more suitable facility in Downtown Baltimore. The mental health programs were awarded accreditation with the Joint Commission 2017 and CARF in 2018. Later that year, the psychiatric rehabilitation program received approval to provide health home services and a community outreach office was opened to make services accessible to residents of Anne Arundel County.
MISSION
To provide high quality comprehensive healthcare & supportive services.
VISION
We aim to reduce chronic homelessness and other disparities experienced by low-income Marylanders by ensuring needed services are accessible, quality and results driven regardless of disability or socio-economic status.
