"Crossing Healthcare's Reshaping of Treatment Services"

Impact on Residential Treatment

Currently, around 20-25 patients rely on Crossing Healthcare's residential treatment services. The organization is dedicated to creating individualized discharge plans for each patient, enabling them to continue their treatment journey on an outpatient basis. This approach recognizes that every patient's recovery path is unique and aims to provide the most appropriate level of care.

Although the residential treatment service is closing, the outpatient services will remain unaffected. Patients will still have access to essential services such as medication management, behavioral health counseling, and group therapy. Additionally, the Transitions and apartment facilities for recovery housing will continue to operate, providing a stable environment for those in recovery.

Staff Layoffs and Future Opportunities

Multiple staff members were informed on Monday that they would be laid off. Crossing Healthcare estimates that approximately 30 staff members are affected by this decision. However, the organization is hopeful that these affected staff will apply for the eight open positions available on campus. This provides an opportunity for them to continue their careers within the Crossing Healthcare family.

The COO's statement emphasized that the decision was based on a thorough analysis of financial and utilization data. The human resource department is working closely with the affected staff to offer support during this challenging time. Crossing Healthcare remains committed to its employees and is dedicated to helping them navigate this transition.

History and Foundation of Crossing Healthcare

Crossing Healthcare began opening its healthcare buildings on the "Community Care Campus" in October 2019. This ambitious project was funded by a generous $60 million gift from the Howard G. Buffett Foundation. The Crossing Recovery Center, a medical detox and residential treatment facility, along with a transitional housing building with 60 beds, started operations in October 2019, admitting patients on October 15th.

Since its inception, Crossing Healthcare has been committed to providing comprehensive healthcare services. The closure of the residential treatment service is a part of their ongoing evolution and strategic planning to meet the changing needs of the community.
