In short

  • We serve only these counties: Franklin and Delaware Counties. Do not accept a patient from outside them.
  • Every branch follows this same manual and is run by the main office.
  • All patient records, including branch records, stay in the Agency’s one record system.
  • Opening, moving or closing an office must be reported to the state, so it is decided only by the governing body.
  • Ask the Administrator if a referral comes from a county you are unsure about.
