HEALTH PROGRAM TO GIL MEMBERS Virgil Pollock, director of the McHenry County Mental Health Clinic, and George Mally, president, discussed the clinic's program with the McHenry County Government Improvement League at its meeting last Friday. They pointed out that the clinic's greatest needs are ,for an educational program, the establishment of sheltered workshops for children, establishment of group therapy, and an expansion of staff to prevent waiting lists of those desiring treatment. Epecially needed, they said, is the addition of a child psychologist to the staff. They commented that currently there is no waiting list. The clinic's goal, they stressed', is that of developing a program to prevent mental illness thereby lessening the need for treatment. One in ten of the entire population, it was related, will require mental treatment of some type, according to present trends, unless effective prevention programs can be instituted. Referrals to the clinic come from the schools, clergy and doctors, with some patients coming of their own choice. Patient load was described as being about 150 cases, with about 30 new referrals a month. They stated that not all referrals require treatment and that some are discharged each, month. Twenty-six new cases were accepted during February. Financially, they pointed out that the clinic's present budget is about $60,000 a year and this is met by local contributions of $12,000, patient fees of $6,000 and state payments of $42,000. While patient fees vary according to ability to pay, the average appeared to be about two dollars per visit. They commented that the clinic, for the seventh year of its existence, has been operating in the 'black' but that it is getting closer to 'red' ink all the time. e Recent clinic billings to the townships came in for discussion and it was pointed out that these charges, in total, amounted to about $1,000 a month and are based on $7.50 per visit. There was no indication that any township has yet honored one of these bills. Each township bill, it was pointed out, was determined by the number of patients treated from that township during the particular month.
