Ocala, Fla. — We are deeply honored to share that Judy Crane and John West, co-founders of The Guest House Ocala, will receive the 4th Annual Keep Going Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of their extraordinary contributions to the recovery community.
Judy and John have long been recognized as respected leaders in the field of trauma and addiction treatment. Through their vision and dedication, they built The Guest House Ocala into one of the nation’s most trusted treatment centers for individuals seeking deep, lasting healing.
At The Guest House, our work has always been grounded in a simple but powerful belief: people heal when they feel safe enough to tell the truth, supported enough to stay present, and connected enough to no longer carry their pain alone. Judy and John helped shape that foundation from the beginning, creating a model of care that looks beyond symptoms and addresses the underlying trauma that so often drives addiction and mental health challenges.
Their approach has distinguished The Guest House Ocala as a place for people who may not have found lasting healing in more traditional settings. By combining clinical expertise with experiential therapies and highly personalized treatment, Judy and John have helped create a program centered on safety, connection, and deep trauma resolution.
This award reflects not only their leadership, but also the countless lives that have been changed through their work.
We are grateful to see Judy and John recognized in this way and proud to celebrate alongside them at the 4th Annual Gala on May 6 at Tao Downtown, New York, an evening dedicated to recovery, resilience, and the power of community.
