Vibrant continually strives to broaden the visibility of the 988 Lifeline and eliminate stigmas surrounding behavioral health care. This program is expected to reach a significant number of people each year; 251 million people make 4.2 billion visits to these shopping centers annually, and 42% of the U.S. population lives within 5 miles of this combined property portfolio.

These reflective signs, visible at all hours, highlight the multiple ways to reach the 988 Lifeline and its critical mental health services. > ![Headshot of Jan Hanak](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202023-10-18%20at%2010.45.36%20PM.png?width=255&height=253&name=Screen%20Shot%202023-10-18%20at%2010.45.36%20PM.png)Connecting with our communities is one of Regency's core values," said [Jan Hanak, Vice President, Marketing and Communications](https://www.regencycenters.com/employee/1746/Jan-Hanak).
