new psychiatrist at Clarity CGC
Corey Hough, MD, joins our treatment team
  
Corey HoughCorey Hough, MD, child and adolescent psychiatrist, has joined Clarity Child Guidance Center's (Clarity CGC) treatment team. He will provide inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services at Clarity CGC's main campus.

"I enjoy working with children because I have a chance to make a real difference in their lives," says Hough. "Treating mental health issues as soon as possible really gives our kids a greater chance for a successful future."

july 23: limeade picnic in the park
14-year-old to host her annual fundraiser for our kids
  
Limeade PicnicAndrea opened her first limeade stand to benefit Clarity CGC eight years ago in front of her home. She was amazed at how many people wanted to join her quest to provide toys for the children receiving treatment at Clarity CGC. Over the years, Andrea has raised more than $3,400 to buy toys for Clarity CGC's kids.
 
Help make this year's event a huge success and support Andrea's efforts to make a difference. Andrea is asking for the following donated items: clothes, toys, socks, colors, coloring books, card games, and board games. All donations should be new, have tags and be unopened. You will receive a fresh squeezed limeade, a hot dog and a bag of chips for each donation.

We will collect new swimsuits in all sizes for boys and girls ages 5-17 through August. Please note, that we will only accept one-piece swimsuits for girls. We would also appreciate fun pool toys and sunscreen.
