Fairview’s new partner in mental health is facing investigation for holding patients against their will
Manage episode 445310892 series 3476315
Acadia Healthcare is under scrutiny after New York Times reporters discovered a pattern of holding patients against their will – even when it was not medically necessary for them to be there. The company agreed to pay nearly $20 million in a settlement in September. And it’s now facing a new federal investigation, according to the Times.
Acadia does not currently run any hospitals in Minnesota, but it is partnering with Fairview Health Services on a new mental health hospital that is currently under construction in St. Paul. Given these plans, MPR News host Cathy Wurzer talked to New York Times reporter Jessica Silver-Greenberg about their record elsewhere.
