Community Engagement

Lakeland Regional Health Graduate Medical Education psychiatry residents and faculty are dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and education beyond the hospital walls. By leading outreach efforts, participating in community events, and supporting local initiatives, they help make mental health care approachable for the individuals and families we serve.
