Retreat Healthcare reorganization

Retreat Healthcare just completed a major reorganization of its inpatient programs.  A residential unit was closed,
 a new intensive adult program was created, and an existing program was split into latency and adolescent.

Union leaders Danielle Perry and Thomas Flood did an excellent job in protecting/improving staffing levels – working to add hours back where cuts were made, and assuring a greater mix of full-time positions.

The Retreat contract is the only UNAP contract that provides patient-to-staff ratios for each unit.  Because of this, it was imperative that the new and reorganized units continue to have patient-to-staff ratios.  The Union achieved this goal and, in some cases, improved the ratios.
