Budget strains for Area Mental Health Center in 2009 cuts
Dalke warns continued reductions threaten AMHC’s ability to fund 13 counties and sustain a 10 bed inpatient unit. He notes 2009 budget is down nine percent nationwide and further cuts into 2010 could reach $244,509. Community support services and deinstitutionalization policies are cited as humane but costly shifts. The center faces a managed care plan limiting services for nonpaying clients and possible loss of the St. Catherine Hospital unit if funding erodes.
