Lakeview and Stepping Stone Center for Recovery have committed to connect In June, Lakeview Health partnered with MAP Health Management to launch Recovery Navigator, a telephonic support program for alumni who are working through the fragile months of early recovery. Recovery Coaches, Ami Brantley, Nick Goslin and Karen Zaccour connect with alumni four times the first month after discharge and then 2x thereafter for up to a year.
