Promoting Recovery & Improving lives
In partnership with Peg’s Foundation, the vision of NEOMED’s Department of Psychiatry in the College of Medicine — through the Coordinating Centers of Excellence — is to serve as a national model for disseminating state-of-the-art programs and practices that promote recovery and improve the lives of individuals with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses — as well as the lives of those around them.
Disseminating best practices, promoting innovation & restoring lives for people with mental illness
