This is a day center for targeted for the people with mental illnesses and homeless, which opened in 2012 (mhaok.org). Many of the homeless population in Tulsa, Ok suffer from a mental illness.

As a working nurse on a behavioral health unit, I service many patients that are disadvantaged and/or vulnerable harm. There is a large population of people that are susceptible to developing illnesses and diseases. This population includes people who are: “educationally disadvantaged, economically disadvantaged, mentally disabled, handicapped, homeless, pregnant women, alcohol and substance abusers” (Henry, 2012, table 8). These people lack access to resources needed for medical care and everyday needs to sustain good health. In most cases the disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals lack daily hygiene, nutrition, sleep and physical activity. As stated in an article on the National Institute of Health (NIH) website:

Our country’s current economic crisis is drastically affecting not just individuals, but businesses and organizations as well, especially when it comes to those that are non-profit. Funding for necessary programs held by non-profit organizations, such as Moses Cone Behavioral Health, have been cut annually, making it more difficult for their institutions to prosper. Due to these substantial declines in donations and funds, local volunteers are needed now more than ever. I chose to volunteer at Moses Cone Behavioral Health Hospital to help combat this loss in funding.

In 2010, my cousin went on a hiking trip with her Residential Treatment Center (RTC). On that trip, she collapsed and wasn’t taken to the hospital until a couple weeks later. By that time, we found out that her body was overheated, which caused her to collapse and she was slowly becoming brain dead. She passed away three days after her seventeenth birthday, which would have made it year before she could come back to our family. If only the RTC staff was able to get her to a hospital soon enough, she would have been able to share memories with our family would be able to have a relationship with my cousin. There is an issue with the RTC’s that need to be handled. RTC’s “provide intensive help for youth with serious emotional and behavior problems (Residential)”. There needs to be better communication with the citizens, more drop-ins in the centers and a more thorough application process for the staff at the Residential Treatment Centers in order to give these foster children the care and attention they need.

Part of the problem with the board was that all its members were Lloyd’s golfing friends and he was viewed as “Mr. Network” (Swayne et al, 2008, p.620); one of the board members is a recovering alcoholic and his only connection was he was a product of Rosemont Center, the other board member owns many businesses that provided nonmedical supplies to Rosemont and the remaining two members were partners in the accounting firm that audited the facilities books!
