Building Sustainability for the Next Two Hundred Years
An Interview with the CEO of America’s Oldest Private Psychiatric Hospital
Abstract
With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a number of people believe there finally are some hopeful opportunities to address the long-term issues that have challenged the mental healthcare arena. Still, besides incurring a significant healthcare expenditure ($125+ billion in federal dollars a year), it also competes for funding against other worthy disease ailments and continues to face unique challenges of stigma and misunderstanding. The following interview with R. John Repique, CEO of Friends Hospital, reveals a strategic initiative that has recently been launched and which can support continued success of an entity that was founded in 1813 by Quakers.
