John Pinkerton Regional Quotations

What they said in that bill is we're going to close the regional centers and we're going to establish community-based services.

The problem with respite care is that since the regional mental centers are closing, we are asked to take people who are too unstable and increasingly violent.

To be truthful, I don't even know why it's so necessary to close the regional centers. It's going to end up costing us more money to close them than it would be to keep them open.

There is about to be a big calamity if something isn't done soon. Without the regional centers, we are dead in the water.

They haven't opened any beds to replace the regional beds that I know of.
