Financials
As a significant provider within the mental health network in Maine, Spurwink Services is continually looking ahead with thoughtful planning and creative thinking. Budgetary cutbacks in community mental health remain one of our most significant challenges. We approach these budget reductions proactively - we have streamlined services and reduced overhead to the very best of our ability. Today, our administrative costs are at a remarkably low 8.7 percent.
Areas in which we have achieved savings include: insurances, facility management and maintenance, purchasing and consolidation of services. Over the past year and a half, we have reduced our reliance on Medicaid and have diversified our funding mix. We will continue to relentlessly pursue excellence, even in these times of severe economic downturn.
Our commitment to those we serve has not wavered. We will continue to explore alternative sources of revenue, work with state administrators to find real solutions and educate our legislators on the critical role community mental health services play in the lives of so many Maine families.
Access to community-based mental health is a central component of quality, affordable healthcare. Without it, children, adults and families will surely suffer.
