Let's examine the tax return of Peninsula Behavioral Health, the non-profit organization, for 2005. This does include the adult hospital as well. $9,000-12,000 per kid and no profit? Also, 990EZ is used by tax exempt organizations. Jesus Christ, they treat the place like it's a church. What a great way for a health Mega-Mart like Covenant Health to bring in some gold. Unbelievable. What "governmental unit" funds them? How does a charitable organization justify straitjackets, bed restraints, and a cornucopia of pharmaceuticals like Klonopine, Thorazine and Halperidol? Suffer the little children unto me, tax free, for $18,323,501

How is PV licensed? They sound like a cross between a traditional psych hospital (straightjackets,drugs,etc), wilderness program and RTC. Tennessee has so many catagories, how are they classified?
PV is listed as a Private School 9/11/2001
http://www.k-12.state.tn.us/SDE/DetailS ... bu_id=5308 (http://www.k-12.state.tn.us/SDE/DetailSchool.asp?bu_id=5308)
They are NOT listed with the other RTCs as a "Special School"
http://www.k-12.state.tn.us/SDE/CreateS ... bu_id=4831 (http://www.k-12.state.tn.us/SDE/CreateSchoolList.asp?Status=A®ion_bu_id=4831)
Why? That's curious and deserves to be followed up on. There may be different requirements for the "Special Schools".

They seem to be whatever is necessary to keep prying eyes away. PV dodged the TN Mental Health Dep't. that way. They used their status as a "school". I imagine if the educational end came under scrutiny, PV would become a "treatment center". That's what's frightening about seeing a place like Covenant Health connected with it. My wife and I were researching Covenant yesterday and found out Covenant Health also owned a medical insurance company that was tied up in TennCare.
Are any other programs tax-free? HLA, ASR, or any of the ASPEN schools? Those three most resemble Peninsula in practice.
To add to the confusion, Bitch-boy Lon has it on ST's links twice - under "therapeutic & treatment programs" AND "Wilderness"...I guess it's an outdoor-based rehab-therapeutic-convalescent boarding school concentration camp...with a swimming pool for the counselors.

I need a good committee name...I was thinking about ANTI-C.H.R.I.S.T. - Covenant Health's Reckless Institution for Struggling Teens...No, that would piss off the Fish-people...
