The COVID pandemic took a drastic toll on an already struggling and underfunded behavioral healthcare system. In the wake of lockdowns, a greater need for psychiatric help is often met with endless waiting lists and bed shortages.

Through his work at Harrington Healthcare, Mirhej is doing his part to find solutions in this ever-growing health crisis. Recently, UMass Memorial Health-Harrington in Webster expanded its adult psychiatric unit for a total capacity of 40 beds.

Mirhej is up for the challenge and is finding ways to provide services to those in desperate need.
