At a time when the country is earnestly pursuing other-than-opioid options for pain, Saratoga Community Health Center’s Complementary Pain Management Program, located at 24 Hamilton St. in Saratoga Springs, has been credited by national experts for being among those on the leading edge of alternative pain management initiatives.
The three-year-old program has been named a winner of the 2018 Recognition of Excellence in Wellness by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Program to Achieve Wellness.
SAMHSA is an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Community Health Center was one of only four recipients—and the only medical facility—winning this year’s national award.
