New Vitae Wellness and Recovery, a holistic support-based facility focused on helping individuals with behavioral health challenges achieve their goals, is pleased to announce their 40th anniversary.
Incorporated in 1983 as TriCounty Respite, New Vitae provides a wide range of treatments that promote personal wellness including individual and group therapy, peer support services, medication management, and Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS). Specialty areas include brain injury, behavioral health, and addiction, with a focus on holistic care for residents and those who support them.
New Vitae was established by Anne Mills and her son Adam Devlin to serve the needs of populations that had been traditionally underserved by behavioral health care, including young adults, veterans, and individuals with traumatic brain injuries. Prior to that, Mills and her family had provided respite services to veterans in their home.
“As a social worker, my mother’s mission was always to serve those who needed compassion and care in their most challenging times,” Devlin said. “She believed in focusing on the wellness within each resident to help them with their recovery. Early on, we knew we had a unique niche.”
Over the years New Vitae has grown to fit the changing needs of its residents, offering a wide range of residential and outpatient programs. Today, with close to 300 staff members, New Vitae continues to provide ethical, holistic, strength-based care to its residents, helping support their right to meaningful and fulfilling lives within their communities.
“When my mother and I officially incorporated our family business we could not have imagined that it would ever grow into the New Vitae of today,” Devlin added. “We have a legacy here we can all be proud of continuing. I thank all of our employees for everything they do each day for both our residents and for each other.”
As part of a series of yearlong anniversary events, New Vitae commemorated this milestone with a celebration at Lake Nockamixon State Park on June 25th. This special gathering included food, live music, and games. A formal anniversary gala is scheduled for June 2024.
