While it is still growing, the staff says it can provide patients with a one-on-one approach for individualized care.
"I'm incredibly proud of the work that we do. I'm incredibly proud of everybody that works here. I think everybody is really dedicated to the community in a way that you don't always see," said Keystone Drug & Alcohol Co-Owner Rebecca Thalenfeld.
"We really try to adapt to the community in everything that the community is looking for. So, our services that we add are needs that we see within our clients. So that's what we are going to continue to aim to do in the future," Keystone Drug and Alcohol Marketing and Outreach Coordinator Summer McLaughlin explained.
The anniversary celebration also included raffle baskets to help provide scholarships to patients without insurance to receive free comprehensive care.
