Last week we had the privilege of attending the Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony for Quentin's Place Behavioral Health Crisis Center. This New Facility was constructed for the Community Service Board (CSB) of Middle Georgia, a subsidiary of the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), on their campus located in Dublin, Georgia. The Facility is used to intake, evaluate, and treat those that are suffering from mental health crises in a 16 County Area which the CSB of Middle Georgia serves. It is a secure, in-patient medical facility.

With heavy hearts we pass on the sad news that Mr. Paul Akins has departed this earth for his Heavenly home. To say that he will be missed is an understatement. He & Mrs. Jo Akins created our company in 1968 and shaped it into what it is today through hard work, honesty, and integrity.

Our office will be closed on Wednesday, August 19, and Thursday, August 20. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this loss.
