Culture of Results

We are driven by our Culture of Results. Let’s face it, people come to Hillcrest for help, for guidance and compassion. They want results, and at Hillcrest those results come in many forms. Feeling better physically through our Health Services, building confidence in troubled youth through our foster group care programs, giving hope to the homeless and promise to those wanting a family. We build character in adults who have lost their dignity, and we add stability to the lives of families in need of mentoring. And for people of all ages who want to feel better emotionally, our brain health counselors can make the prospects of a better life a reality.

Faith

Spirituality

Hillcrest Delivers Results

If we can’t deliver the results people need, then we can’t deliver on our singular goal and focus. But we can, and we do. Every day and every year for more than a century. It takes experience and compassion, it requires a staff dedicated to making people’s lives better, and it’s all fostered by our universal sense of hope that there are brighter days ahead. That’s our Culture of Results and we’d be delighted to share it with you.
