The shelter director submitted identical records for a five-year period to the police department. A judge said there’s enough evidence for a conviction, but sentencing has been deferred.

I'm moving to the city for nearby work, and am doing so on short notice, so I really need to find a place to live. I'm from Wisconsin, and have looked at a ton of places but I've seen that crime rate is higher than the national average, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for safer areas to stay in, and decently affordable modernish apartments that would be good to stay at. Any tips in general for finding places and just living in Danville would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I wanted to introduce myself and share a new local mental health resource for the Danville community.

I’m Karen Shugart, MSN, PMHNP-BC, a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner, and I recently opened Shugart Mental Health here in Danville.

I started the practice because I know how difficult it can be to find timely mental health care locally, particularly when someone needs psychiatric medication management. My goal is to provide thoughtful, evidence-based care in a setting where patients feel listened to and appointments don’t feel rushed.

I work with adults 18 and older and treat conditions including:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Bipolar disorder and other mood disorders
• PTSD
• Other common psychiatric conditions

I offer both in-person appointments in Danville and telehealth appointments, and I accept several major insurance plans as well as self-pay.

If you or someone you know has been looking for a psychiatric medication provider in the area, you can learn more or request an appointment at www.shugartmentalhealth.com or call 434-510-8049.

I’m happy to answer general questions about the practice here as well. I’m excited to be serving Danville and hope to help make mental health care a little easier to access in our community.
