MHS had been awarded the dollars as a finalist in the American Hospital Association’s “Quest for Quality” program and elected to use the money to provide a safe, comfortable, and friendly space for abused or neglected children to meet with their biological parents within 72 hours of entering ChildNet’s foster care program. This is especially important since many children don’t completely understand why they were removed from their family situation.
