Sarah Robinson: CanaryCare

Today on Positively West Virginia, we sit down with Sarah Robinson, Founder and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at CanaryCare in Harrisville, West Virginia. Sarah shares how her own experience with postpartum OCD led her back to school and, eventually, to opening an outpatient mental health practice that started with a single patient and is now celebrating its two-year anniversary. The conversation explores the realities of rural mental health care — transportation barriers, food deserts, lingering isolation from the pandemic, and the stigma that still keeps people from asking for help. Canary Care serves patients ages six through adulthood with a mission to remove barriers to exceptional, evidence-based care and make sure no one leaves the office feeling alone. Sarah also shares the story behind the Canary Care name, why she believes leaders come last, and her advice for anyone sitting on a business idea: go for it.
