On behalf of the board of directors, the staff, and especially the clients of Therapeutic Health Services, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you for your support in 1998. In my two years as board president I have had the rare opportunity to see how once battered lives and broken families that resulted from chemical dependency and mental illness can change with comprehensive, caring, professional support. Each person and each family that begins the road to recovery adds value to our community.
All staff is linked by computer with increased speed and accuracy of information sharing.
Data is transferred to funding sources over high-speed modems improving accuracy and timeliness of agency revenues for services. As a taxpayer I know that there is a terrible cost paid by each of us for chemical dependency and unmanaged mental health issues. There is a cost we ALL pay every day in our health and auto insurance and in our taxes for diseases that can be treated and managed. There is a cost we ALL pay at the checkout to cover the costs of thefts, workplace accidents and absenteeism caused by chemical dependency and mental illness. I ask for your continuing support to stem the tide of chemical dependency in this and future generations.
