Who We Are
About Saint Therese
Little Things with Great Love
Every day at Saint Therese, we are driven by our organization’s mission, vision and guiding behaviors. We believe every act, no matter how small, can make a large impact. Even the smallest detail matters. It’s what sets us apart. You’ll see we’re much more than a place that provides housing and care. We turn that place into a community, and housing into a home. Rehab becomes recovery and caregivers become friends. At Saint Therese, we do ordinary things with extraordinary love, and it shows in everything we do.
