Celebrating Heart Month with Pillar Health and Kenosha Community Health Center

Heart disease is the number one reason adults in the U.S. get really sick or pass away. It affects a lot of people right here in Kenosha, Racine, and Walworth counties too. Taking care of your heart is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your family. 

Let’s use Heart Month as a starting point for achieving a healthy heart. To make an appointment or learn more, please call 262-656-0044.

Prioritizing Children’s Dental Health in Kenosha, Racine, and Walworth Counties

February is the month to learn more about and celebrate the importance of kids' dental health. It's a special time to make sure their smiles stay bright and healthy. Pillar Health and Kenosha Community Health Center are here to help you do just that!

Mental Health Support is Available for Youth

A report from Wisconsin’s Office of Children’s Mental Health says that a lot of teenagers are struggling. In 2021, one out of ten teenagers tried to hurt themselves, and many feel very sad or hopeless. Also, half of the young people have big worries or problems with how they act or feel.



We have special doctors called psychiatrists who check, find out what’s wrong, and treat mental, emotional, and behavior problems. These doctors see patients who are 6 years old and older. There’s Dr. Codie Vassar, who speaks English and Spanish, and Nurse Practitioner Deshawntae Griffin, who works with kids from 6 to 18 years old.

We also have psychotherapy. It’s also called talk therapy, which is talking to someone to help with mental health problems and feelings. This is for adults and children as young as 11 years old. Their team includes Javier Luna-Blanco, Kari DeBerg, Amanda Martinez, Cassie Gillen and Erica Moreno, who are all trained to help young people.

In the Community

On the evening of February 8, 2024, Pillar Health and Kenosha Community Health Center were bestowed with a Forward Award by the Kenosha Area Business Alliance. This accolade is a recognition of the relentless dedication, hard work, and significant impact our team has made in providing comprehensive medical, dental, and behavioral health services in Kenosha County.

Reflecting on our 28-year journey, it’s heartwarming to acknowledge the impact we’ve made, serving over 14,000 patients annually and marking more than a million patient encounters. The Forward Award is not merely a testament to our team’s efforts but a celebration of the collective spirit of every patient, staff member, and supporter who has been integral to our mission.
