Minnesota Department of Human Services

E-Memo

#16-36

10/14/16

Invitation to Attend from the Deputy Director

On September 29th, we sent E-Memo #16-35 announcing upcoming community meetings that will be held across the state to review the Policy Recommendations Report and obtain your feedback.  The community forum meeting dates have been updated. 

Greetings,

The MN Department of Human Services would like to provide an update of reform efforts to create an efficient and effective system of prevention, early intervention, treatment and recovery that values a person’s dignity, is accessible, utilizes best practices and optimizes value. 

The Plan for Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services in Minnesota is the culmination of years of work incorporating the Model of Care recommendations, input from Listening Sessions, and work with our partners and providers.  As part of this work, we would welcome an opportunity to receive your feedback.

We would like hear how this plan intersects with your experiences and priorities.  It is our hope that collaboration with all entities that are affected by, pay for, or provide addiction services will result in a reform package that will become a watershed moment for the citizens of Minnesota.

We look forward to working with you.

 

Respectfully,

 

Brian Zirbes MA, LADC, LPCC  

Deputy Director
