Morrow County Behavioral
Health changes to Morrow
Wheeler Behavioral Health
Morrow County Be
havioral Health from now
on will be known now as
Morrow W heeler B ehav
ioral Health.
According to Mor
row W heeler B ehavioral
H ealth E xecutive D irec
tor Kimberly Lindsay, the
Morrow County Court and
Morrow County Behavioral
Health jointly agreed in the
fall o f 2005 that the provi
sion o f outpatient mental
health, addictions, preven
tion and d ev elo p m en tal
disability services would
be better administered by
a private-not-for-profit or
ganization. The current
staff o f MCBH formed a
p riv ate-n o t-fo r profit or
ganization called MWBH
and responded to a request
for proposals from Morrow
County. The proposal was
awarded to MWBH in the
sum m er o f 2006. Since
that time MWBH has been
busy creating policies and
procedures, salary studies,
developing insurance and
retirement plans, etc. The
effective transition date is
July I.
"T h e re a so n s for
m oving from the county
to a private-not-for-profit
o rg an izatio n are m any,”
says Lindsay. “ MWBH will
be able to apply for many
more grants that they could
not apply for as a govern
ment agency; recruitment
and retention o f employees
will improve; MW13H can
diversify its income streams;
and services to the people
we serve will be more flex
ible.”
’’People should not
notice too much o f a differ
ence in our business on July
I,” says Lindsay. “We will
be in the same locations, we
will employ the same staff,
offer the same services, and
there are no changes in the
fee structure. The one thing
that will change is the office
hours. For several years we
have been on a 36 hour work
week but have needed to be
open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon
day through Friday. This
has been a hassle in sched
uling. Effective July 1, our
new office hours will be
Monday through Thursday
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday,
8 a.m. to 12 p.m... We will
still be available to respond
to all crises during and after
regular business hours.” For
more information, contact
Lindsay at 541 -676-9161.
