Audit criticizes Davis Behavioral Health

Concerned citizen | 12:36 p.m. July 4, 2008

This is unbelievable....Davis Mental Health invested $500,000 to provide more services to the community and recieved grants of $1,000,000! If you calculate this as a return on the investment alone: the ROI is 100%.

I say: "job well done". This is without even commenting on treating over 1000 people, keeping families together and folks on their job, not on Medicaid.

This has to be another attempt of dirty politics targeting good people. The real story is that we use tax payer's dollars for an arm of the legislature to be hired guns. Who is going to audit the objectivity and efficiency of the auditors operations?

This audit is concerned with one thing, money.
Davis Behavioral Health is concerned with quite another, people. The bottom line is fulfilling the needs of, and improving the quality of lives of, their mentally ill clients. This is what they do.
Yes, it costs money. But ask any client who is now working, has affordable housing, and who are functioning, in the best way they can in society, despite their limitations, if they think this is money well spent?
As one of those clients, I will tell you that I owe my life to Davis Behavioral Health.
Shame on all of you who fail to see the real picture, not just columns of number on a ledger, but human beings who rely on the help and care of Davis Behavioral Health.
