Reference committee to meet
July 20, 2010
The 2010 IMS House of Delegates referred Resolution 10-07: Need for Sub-Acute Psychiatric Beds (PDF 25KB) to the IMS Board of Directors. The resolution asks the Iowa Director of Human Services to reconfigure the state's mental health institutes to prioritize sub-acute inpatient capacity. The resolution seeks 50 percent of the current acute beds be reclassified as sub-acute. A Reference Committee will hear testimony and make recommendations to the Board.
The Committee will meet via teleconference Thursday, August 26, and will receive public input from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Contact at (515) 223-1401 for more information, to request call-in instructions, or to provide written comments (due August 13).
