Great Circle shuts down residential treatment in Webster Groves

Posted online

Behavioral health organization Great Circle is shutting down its residential treatment facility in Webster Groves.

“Decisions like this are never easy, but our priority must always be to most effectively meet the needs of every client we serve,” Great Circle CEO Paula Fleming said. “This change in our Webster Groves residential program will allow us to fully focus on the other important work we do in St. Louis and around the state.”

The Webster Groves campus also houses Great Circle's headquarters and other programs.
