Dec 08, 2023 12:55 pm

Tiffany Greenwaldt-Simon reports for Columbia-Greene Media the Greene County Mental Health Center is the latest local organization experiencing staffing issues. Greene County Mental Health Center Director Jason Fredenberg told the Greene County Legislature’s Health Services Committee on Dec. 6 that, “We were short-staffed for a while, we enjoyed several months of actually being fully staffed for a few months.... It was really nice, but we are once again short-staffed.” Fredenberg said that 10 people are currently waiting to be assigned to a doctor at the center, and 50 adults and 13 children are need their first intake appointment. Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said they are working on ways to lure more help here. Groden said, “One of the items on the table is the elevation of the grade levels for these licensed clinical physicians to move up a step and try to get more people, because it’s not like we’re getting bad applicants, we’re getting no applicants.” Read more about this story at HudsonValley360.com.
