OKLAHOMA CITY - Feb. 25, 2021 - PRLog -- Hands to Guide You is pleased to announce that Larry Ford, DBH, Founder & CEO of Hands to Guide You and H2GYHealth was appointed to the Board of Directors of Cummings Graduate Institute for Behavioral Health Studies.  Cummings Graduate Institute for Behavioral Health Studies (CGI) is a nonprofit, accredited, online post-graduate institution of higher learning offering post-graduate education and training in the field of integrated behavioral healthcare, including the Doctor of Behavioral Health (DBH) degree, graduate certificate programs, and continuing education.

Dr. Ford's integrated treatment has also decreased hospital re-admission by 30% in southwest Oklahoma City alone."

Cummings Graduate Institute honored Dr. Ford with the prestigious Biodyne Life Change Award in October 2016 due to his leadership and outstanding business model of integrated behavioral health services in Oklahoma. In 2019 & 2020 Hands to Guide You received the Oklahoma City Small Business Award, and in 2020 Dr. Ford was awarded Doctor of the Year.

When asked about his new role at CGI Dr. Ford noted, "It is a great honor and privilege to serve on the CGI Board of Directors.  Dr. Nicholas Cummings was my mentor in education, profession, and life.  He was a brilliant man and a true friend.  I cherish this opportunity and look forward to working with the leadership, administration and faculty and CGI.  Dr. Cummings paved the way.  We will energetically and joyfully continue the journey as we innovate, integrate and truly change the way people experience healthcare."
