Dear Cornerstone Community, As I reflect on this past year, I am filled with both pride and gratitude for the individuals and families we serve and for the extraordinary staff who walk beside them each day. Their resilience, dedication, and compassion are the foundation of Cornerstone and the reason our work continues to make a meaningful difference. To our donors, thank you for your continued belief in our mission. Your generosity allows us to meet people where they are and provide care rooted in dignity, respect, and hope. Because of you, our team is able to show up every day as bearers of hope, offering support and stability to those navigating serious mental illness and behavioral health challenges. This past year has reminded us that healing takes time and trust, and that progress is possible when people feel seen, supported, and believed in. I am continually inspired by the courage of our clients, the commitment of our staff, and the strength of our community partnerships. As we look ahead to the coming year, I am hopeful and energized by what lies ahead. Together, we will continue to grow, deepen our impact, and create new opportunities for healing and independence. Thank you for standing with Cornerstone and for helping us turn hope into action, one step at a time. Happy Holidays, Cari A. Guthrie, LCSW-C President & CEO
