We are aware of the incident between two patients at the Crestwood facility in Valdosta. As a long-time member of this community, we are saddened by this event and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families involved. In an effort to help our employees, patients, and family members we have our corporate chaplains on site to provide grief support.

The safety and well-being of our patients is our number one priority. Therefore, the patient allegedly involved in the incident was immediately transferred following the onset of the investigation by emergency responders. We are continuing to work in full cooperation with the authorities on this matter and have no further comment on the case as this is an ongoing police investigation.

At this time, we ask you to respect the privacy of our patients as we continue to care for our community members and their families.
