Program Reports: Mental Health/AODA: Kiesler and Kirt were present to update the Mental
Health inpatient services and availability of care in area hospitals. Kirt stated they are still
working through some of the administrative "glitches" with United Hospital. Kiesler stated the
billing process is still up in the air but are making some headway. By the end of the year we may
be in a position to contract with Sacred Heart once again.
Horne requested clarification of the billing process. Kiesler stated we are paying the hospital bills
but are holding the doctor bills from United Hospital, as they are double and triple billing. This
will be cleared up. Kiesler stated when we contracted with Sacred Heart they refused to develop
a contract for the doctors' fees.
Kiesler stated the intensive in-home program for the severely emotionally disturbed youth needs
one therapist and two social workers. Kiesler stated it would be more cost effective for us to
bridge the gap by using the Comprehensive Community Services (CCS). While CCS is not
currently in place through the State of Wisconsin, we are able to pilot this transition through our
CSP Program by reallocating one in-house social worker position. He stated he is considering
switching in-home to CSP for this reason. Intensive in-home takes three staff and can serve 14
clients. By switching to CSP, one staff can serve 15 to 20 youth. The treatment would be as
3
The county mandates we keep them current. Updated job descriptions will then be given to the
Personnel Department for review and possible referral to the Hay Committee.

• Heather Gensen is moving into the Adult Unit as an Economic Support Specialist, filling the

• Roberta Dale-Wozniak will be our new W-2 Specialist, replacing Heather Gensen.
• Lisa Waalen will be our new W-2 Specialist, filling our newly created position (formerly

adopted: That the Health and Human Services Board meeting be adjourned.
