Spiritus Christi Mental Health Center holds 5K

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Spiritus Christi Mental Health Center held its annual Riverwalk 5k over the weekend. The center has been working for 22 years to provide mental health care and support for people who need it, regardless of insurance status or income.

While 22 years is a long time, leaders at the center say their work is far from done.

“That’s the most important thing we’re doing today, is just letting people know that this is just as legitimate as having a broken leg or diabetes, or heart disease. Get the help you need,” said Amy Durkee, director of the Spiritus Christi Mental Health Center. Last year’s Riverwalk raised more than $26,000.
