Selma Wellness Center Open House

On October 27, 2025, Crestwood hosted an Open House for our newest campus – the Selma Wellness Center! Located at 3800 McCall Avenue in Selma, the modest exterior gives way to a beautifully appointed and Trauma-Informed environment just inside the doors.

The Selma Wellness Center is a justice-informed Mental Health Rehabilitation Center (MHRC), where up to 40 individuals at a time can receive services in a welcoming, home-like environment. Crestwood will provide psychosocial rehabilitation to individuals referred and screened by the California Department of State Hospitals (DSH). These are individuals who are struggling with mental health challenges and who need competency restoration services, as found by a judge. The Selma Wellness Center will be a place to find hope and healing. Upon discharge, individuals will be transferred to DSH for their next level of care.

At the Open House and Ribbon Cutting, several people spoke about the critical need for this program. Special guest, Congressman Jim Costa, addressed the need for mental health services in the Central Valley, noting that too often, fear stands in the way of people talking about mental health issues. He said that the MHRC will be a safe place where people can openly talk about their fears and challenges. Costa presented the Selma Wellness Center with a Special Congressional Recognition from the United States House of Representatives.

The Selma District Chamber of Commerce also presented the Selma Wellness Center with a certificate of recognition in honor of the ribbon cutting event. Selma Mayor Scott Robertson addressed the need for services in Fresno County, warmly welcoming the partnership with Crestwood and saying that, “Places like Crestwood make all the difference.”

Crestwood Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President, Patty Blum, spoke at the Open House celebration, thanking everyone for their efforts and partnership to make this vision a reality. “This is a building and a space that’s going to allow healing and wellness every single day,” she said.

More than 100 people attended the Open House and toured the campus. Our Crestwood Executive Leadership Team was present, (including George Lytal, CEO; Derek Dobbins, President; Maria Stefanou, CFO/EVP; and Patty Blum, COO/EVP), along with members from our Start-Up and Home Office Teams.

The Selma Wellness Center will be officially opening to persons served soon!
