Margarita Prentice

Dear Senator Prentice,

Thanks for your important and pivotal assistance resulting in the generous allocation of $1.5 million in the capital budget toward the relocation of our Burien campus due to the implementation of SeaTac's new third runway!  We would not have been able to move forward in continuing our services to children and adults with serious mental and emotional illness without this money to prepare our new site.  You have been especially helpful to our project through your lead role in the Senate. 

Thanks also for your kind support for mental health care statewide, your help this session in dedicating the additional funding for non-Medicaid services, in helping to stabilize Pierce and Spokane RSN s, and in attending to the needs of direct service staff by implementing paperwork reduction strategies!

Many lives wil be improved because of the care you took to make these initiatives succeed.

Thanks!

David M. Johnson, Ed.D.

CEO, Highline West Seattle Mental Health
