National Alliance on Mental Illness Panel Discussion – Transylvania Regional Hospital

HIPAA and the Family Crisis: Teamwork within the Mental Health Care System Panel Discussion

One issue facing those with a mental illness and their families is communication between the family and the provider. The family wants to be included, as it is with any other illness, but often feels restricted by patient information privacy laws.

Join us to address ways for families to be part of the solution. Panel members will be:

• James Wright, MD, Emergency Department, Transylvania Regional Hospital
• Britt Peterson, MD, Psychiatry, Transylvania Regional Hospital
• Judith West, ACSW, LCSW, Sylvan Valley Counseling
• Emily Townes, MS, LPC, Brevard Health Center

The event will be held Tuesday, October 24, 6 – 8 pm, in the Carlson Conference Room at Transylvania Regional Hospital. Admission is free and refreshments will be provided.
