We have just learned that Youth Care of Draper, Utah, one of our co-sponsors has just been purchased by Aspen. Robin Stephens will continue as Executive Director. Co owners with Robin, Liz Smith (Pine Ridge Director) and Dr. LePray will not be continuing. Ellen Behrens will be clinical director.
We will certainly miss Dr. LePray and Liz Smith, but have the highest regard for Robin and Ellen. We at FamilyLight Consultants have long wanted to see more Youth Care / Pine Ridge beds available, as we believe these are the finest programs of their kinds available.
As much as we have nostalgia for the days of Youth Care, Inc. as a stand alone organization, we respect the fact that Aspen has generally maintained the quality of their acquisitions. We can at least hope for some addtional beds similar to what is offered at Pine Ridge and Youth Care. And we are proud to have an Aspen affiliate as one of our co-sponsors.
Best wishes to Robin and Ellen, as well as Liz and Dr. L.
