Mr. David Swann, the Area Director and CEO of Crossroads Behavioral
Healthcare, Provides a Six -'.Month Update and Requests Approval of a Joint Resolution
Approving the Conveyance of Certain Real Property: Mr. Swann said that by law, a report
was required to made every six months regarding Crossroads' activity and financial status.
Swann said this year's contribution from Iredell was $3.26 per capita along with a one-time start
up amount of $50,000 for a crisis center. Mr. Swann said that for the three -county area
comprising Crossroads, 7,679 people had been served during FY 2003-04.
In regards to developing a provider network, he said providers were being brought in to
Iredell County, and they were hiring the Crossroads staff, assuming the services delivered in the
past, subleasing the facilities, and supplying consumer services. Swann said he anticipated by
June of 2005, Crossroads would be "purely" a local managing entity.
He said the following three expansion projects were underway.
I ) Crisis Response Center to serve people from all three counties, but to be located
in Iredell. (Mission of the center: To divert people from hospitals, emergency
departments.)
2) Geriatric Specialty Care Center to serve people from all three counties, but to be
located in Yadkin County. (Mission of the center: To assist seriously disabled
individuals.)
3) Housing Alternative for Persons with Serious Addictive Diseases
Swann said a proposal had been submitted for Crossroads to hold title to real property;
however, the General Statutes required the three counties to first approve a resolution. He said
Crossroads desired to obtain property located at 518 Signal Hill Drive Ext., in Statesville for the
purpose of locating a 24171365 day crisis center (12 -bed facility with an area to serve one
adolescent). Mr. Swann said the crisis center would hold "acutely ill" patients in place of
sending them to local hospitals. He said the facility had easy access to the interstate for
transporting the clients to the state hospital in Morganton. Swann said crisis centers were
recommended by the state department, and they were a method to downsize the state hospitals.
OTIO by Commissioner Madison to approve the resolution as presented.
