“Conflict of interest policy and process: the organization has a comprehensive corporate compliance program which covers staff and directors.

The organization educates staff on compliance on an ongoing basis and conducts an annual on-line questionnaire to confirm staff understanding of the program. The program utilizes a hotline for reporting of suspected compliance issues. The hotline is run by a third party vendor and offers anonymity to the reporter. The staff is educated on the hotline's use and access on an ongoing basis and this knowledge is an important part of the annual staff questionnaire. Designated personnel working in areas affecting compliance report to the board of directors' compliance subcommittee on a quarterly basis. The compliance committee reports directly to the board. The conflict of interest policy applies to all board members and to all staff of all companies. The committee or the board may make determinations of whether or not an actual conflict of interest exists. The individual with the conflict cannot participate in the decision making process and is not permitted to vote on the proposed transaction creating the conflict. The subcommittee or the board may investigate any suspected failures to report a conflict and may take appropriate disciplinary action or corrective action. Each year the board of directors is given a compliance report on the previous year's compliance program. Following this presentation, each board member is required to sign an acknowledgement which confirms their understanding of, and agreement with, the organization's conflict of interest policy.”

“PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: The 2015-2016 year was another great one for AspenPointe and our community. Below are some of the key initiatives AspenPointe accomplished with assistance from many advocates and partners along the way. First, as Medicaid enrollment continued to grow, we made adjustments at several of our facilities so that we could provide clinical services in key areas. This included our 220 Ruskin Drive facility on the southeast side of town. Traditionally a facility where we provided only vocational and educational services, we now offer behavioral health care and much more at this location. Services include: substance use, child and family counseling, youth services, GED and literacy tutoring, jail diversion and telepsychiatry. We also increased substance use services at our 2864 South Circle Drive location, opening offices on an additional floor. Commercial insurance clinicians were also increased. We also opened new spaces in our rural locations - an office in Calhan and expanded services in Fountain. To better serve our patients, we remodeled our Parkside Drive waiting room and started planning a remodel at Ruskin. We are currently eyeing additional space in the northern reaches of Colorado Springs so that patients do not have to drive to south Colorado Springs to receive care. Along with these expansions, we have hired over 150 employees, including several nurse practitioners and physician assistants. AspenPointe was also the recipient of several awards in recent months that deserve mentioning. Those include the Behavioral Healthcare Councils 2016 Golden Abacus Award; the Outstanding Service to Children in Colorado Springs Award by the Colorado Judicial Family Law; and Home Front Cares Joe Henjum Hero Award. And while we dont do this for the recognition, WE are proud that many of our staff have stepped up to partner with our school districts and other agencies to curb youth suicides by participating in parent, teacher and student events, as well as conducting trainings on the signs and symptoms of suicidal teens. Our annual Heroes of Mental Health Luncheon again raised several thousands of dollars for Mental Health First Aid. In the last year, we have partnered to train more than 3,400 people in our community.”
