MHSS Changes
 

Although 5 units are not used often, there continues to be a need.  The unit cap per day can create dependency for the service, making it more difficult to accomplish goals and eventually dischage clients.  Many of our clients have difficulty navagating treatment/medical provider appointments indepenenlty.  Often may of our client's live in rural areas, where much of that time is spent in travel to access areas where treatment can be provided. Please reconsider this change so our community and our client's will continue to prosper.
