Plan of Correction
Gaudenzia Erie, Inc. hired a new full time outpatient counselor on 6/28/10 and he is currently being trained. Once trained, this person will work in the satellite offices, which will decrease the caseloads of the current counselors. This will be monitored by the Program Director of Outpatient and overseen by the Division Director. |
