0:31
Crown Recovery Center in Springfield not part of the deal
0:36
by Jane Reid kleinb. October twenty ninth, twenty twenty five
0:41
for the company SMA Health Corporation in Kentucky's addiction recovery
0:46
care ARC announced last Wednesday the possible sale of several
0:51
ARC assets to FMMA. SMA signed a letter of intent
0:55
to purchase some of the Kentucky facilities of addiction Recovery
0:59
care company that quickly grew in recent years to be
1:02
the largest drug treatment provider in the state. Quote following
1:06
necessary organizational changes, ARC's ownership has determined that partnering with
1:11
SMA Health Corporation is the most responsible and forward looking
1:16
step towards a stronger future. ARC's vice president of Marketing,
1:21
Vanessa Keaton wrote in a press release on Wednesday, quote,
1:25
SMA will operate the considerable assets under its existing Kentucky
1:29
brand Aria or Area Kentucky end of quote. In an
1:35
email to ARC staff last Wednesday, Robinson wrote that ARC
1:39
was selling five of its facilities, including the Lafonte Hospital
1:44
in Ashland, Pioneer Rural Health Clinic in Louisa, a pharmacy
1:48
in Monticello, and its laboratory. A press release Thursday from
1:52
SMA about the Perspective purchase listed additional assets that seeks
1:56
to acquire from ARC, including four in patient facilities, five
2:01
outpatient clinics, and a psychiatric hospital. It adds that the
2:05
combined capacity of these facilities is approximately nine hundred patients.
2:11
CEO Sean Leon of ETHEMA, operating in Kentucky as Addiction
2:15
Recovery Institute of America or Area, said SMA is not
2:20
purchasing the Crown Recovery Center in Springfield and has no
2:23
desire to as it is too large for their business model.
2:27
He added, ARC maybe near a potential deal for another
2:31
entity to purchase the property. ARC has not commented on
2:34
the future of Crown. Leon said SEMA has had no
2:38
conversation to buy any assets or have future affiliations with
2:42
Odyssey Incorporated, a nonprofit affiliated with ARC. According to IRS filings,
2:48
Odyssey was led by Robinson, his wife, and other top
2:52
ARC leaders for several years, accumulating nearly thirty two million
2:56
dollars of assets by twenty twenty three. It paid Robert
3:00
Hinson and wife hundreds of thousands of dollars annually until
3:04
twenty twenty three, when Robinson and his wife left the board.
3:08
Leon said that once the sale of ARC assets is final,
3:12
Robinson will become a quote fairly large shareholder end of
3:16
quote in Essema and take a strategic leadership role in
3:19
the company quote have an executive role. Leon said, he'll
3:24
probably be more in the lines of business development and
3:27
maybe looking into opening in West Virginia or Ohio or Virginia.
3:31
Those are kind of target areas for us to expand
3:34
to end of quote. Leon said. The potential plan to
3:38
purchase ARC arose when ARC came under investigation by the
3:42
FBI in the summer of twenty twenty four for potential
3:45
medical medicaid fraud. Following the announcement of the FBI investigation,
3:50
ARC closed several of their facilities statewide and laid off
3:54
staff across the state. Although the sale price for ARC
3:58
has not been disclosed, id to SMUs owner, ARC will
4:02
use part of the funds from its purchase to pay
4:04
the US Department of Justice as part of a pending
4:07
settlement over the Medicaid fraud investigation. Medicaid, the government health
4:12
plan for low income in the individuals, pays for nearly
4:16
all of ARC's services, which include residential and outpatient care.
4:21
ARC in twenty twenty three received about one hundred and
4:23
thirty million dollars in payments from Kentucky's Medicaid program, which
4:28
is about seventy percent of its money from the federal government.
4:31
In an interview with Kentucky Public Radio, Leon said his
4:34
intent to purchase ARC Facilities was first discussed with ARC
4:38
owner Tim Robinson last year. He pitched the purchase as
4:41
a way for Area to expand into Kentucky and for
4:45
ARC to rebrand itself amid the FBI investigation and subsequent
4:50
financial troubles. Quote I said, it may be an idea
4:53
that you could sell your assets to Area and we
4:55
rebrand into the Area brand and have one unified company
4:59
across the state. Leon said recently, I just presented some
5:03
ideas to him on how it could be restructured and reorganized,
5:06
and he finally said, you know what, it's time to
5:08
turn it over. End of quote. Quote. It's tough to
5:12
sort of step back and give up something that you've
5:14
built and you're proud of and all that. Leon added,
5:17
But I just said the organization would benefit from the
5:19
sort of fresh start, rebranding, and certainly new management end
5:23
of quotes. Earlier this year, ASIMA purchased the assets of Edgewater,
5:28
another drug treatment company whose previous owners were also under
5:31
FBI ad investigation for fraudulent billing practices. Leon said he
5:36
envisions the purchase of ARC assets to be similar to
5:39
what it did with Edgewater, when it acquired a few
5:42
facilities in Paducah and Morehead. Edgewater agreed to pay two
5:46
point two million dollars in a civil penalty for its
5:49
role and a scheme to submit false laboratory claims to
5:52
medicate and medicare for drug testing, according to the US
5:55
Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Leon said
6:00
twenty five percent of the sale of ARC assets will
6:02
be in cash, with Robinson using those funds to pay
6:06
down debts and quote anything he needs to pay the
6:08
Department of Justice for the Medicaid issue end of quote.
6:12
Regarding a possible settlement with the Department of Justice, quote,
6:15
I just want to make it clear that I have
6:17
no knowledge of it, and that anything I may have
6:20
either speculated on or surmised was purely just that, Leon said.
6:25
I don't want it to come across as I know
6:26
what's going on, because I don't end of quote. A
6:30
spokesperson for ARC has not answered questions about a potential
6:34
FBI settlement, nor has Robinson agreed to an interview with
6:38
any media outlet ask that they could confirm a settlement
6:42
with ARC. A spokesperson for the US Attorney's Office in
6:45
the Eastern District of Kentucky said they could not comment.
6:48
A spokesperson for the FBI's Louisville office said they also
6:52
could not respond due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
6:56
As for the FBI investigation into ARC, under Robinson's use
7:00
ship quote, I'm not intimately involved in any of that,
7:03
Leon said of the federal investigation, quite frankly, I don't
7:07
even want to know what it's all about. End of quote.
7:10
Leon added, that the FBI investigation played a role and
7:13
weakened the financial position of ARC. Quote. Unfortunately, that whole
7:18
process really impacted the organization in one hundred different ways,
7:21
Leon said, and that's what led to difficulties in every
7:24
aspect of the business, which eventually required a tightening of
7:27
the belt, closing locations and consolidating and continuing to do
7:32
that end of quote. This financial trouble is what spurred
7:35
Leon to reach out to Robinson last year, pitching the
7:38
potential solutions that could help both companies. When the FBI
7:42
investigation was announced last August, ARC had more than thirty
7:46
facilities related to drug addiction treatment throughout Kentucky. At its
7:50
peak in twenty twenty four, ARC had about eighteen hundred
7:54
residential treatment that programs throughout Kentucky and about thirteen hundred
7:59
fifty inp plots. However, with closures and layoffs, ARC now
8:03
has just fourteen facilities. As for the transition from ARC
8:08
to Ethma, both Robinson and Leon said it should be
8:11
seamless for both employees and clients, as they hope to
8:15
have no interruption of current services once the sale is complete,
8:18
which Leon hopes to have finalized within three months, Robinson
8:23
wrote in an email to staff that area, Kentucky quote
8:26
has indicated a strong intent to hire a substantial portion
8:30
of the current ARC staff in the same or similar roles.
8:33
There will be no disruption to your daily operations or
8:36
client care, as the well being of our clients is
8:39
our top priority. End of quote. If the sale of
8:43
ARC to SMA goes through, it will breed an end
8:46
to ARC's seventeen year operation by Robinson, a lawyer and
8:50
recovering alcoholic who founded ARC in two thousand and eight
8:54
as a single halfway house in Lawrence County. He later
8:58
established ARC's headquarters in Louisa, where it became the small
9:02
town's largest employer. Over the years, the company grew rapidly,
9:07
fueled by the changes in Medicaid in twenty fourteen that
9:10
dramatically expanded access for adults in need of addiction treatment,
9:14
opening a new stream of revenue. New Emergency Service Building
9:21
opens by Jane Reid Climb October twenty ninth, twenty twenty five.
9:27
After years of planning, delays, and construction, the lawn of
9:31
waited and much anticipated new Washington County Emergency Services Building
9:36
was officially opened on Friday, October four or October twenty
9:40
fourth with a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house. The
9:45
county used covid A RPA funds along with profits from
9:51
the sale of the property originally planned for the location
9:54
of the building, to fund the project, allowing the building
9:57
to be constructed debt free. The new building will have
10:00
Call Emergency Management, Emergency Medical Services EMASS, and the Springfield,
10:05
Washington County Rescue Squad. In addition, the building is a
10:08
storm shelter in the event of a tornado or other
10:11
natural disaster. The main entrance brings you into a hallway
10:15
with offices for the directors of each department and a
10:18
training room. Rounding the corner to the next hallway you
10:21
find a day room for the paramedics and EMT with
10:24
a kitchen and TV room. A little further down is
10:27
a cross hallway leading to sleeping rooms, a laundry room,
10:30
and shower rooms. Finally, at the end of the hallway
10:33
is a doorway leading out into the bay area, where
10:37
the ambulances, rescue squads, vehicles, and other equipment are housed. Currently,
10:42
the building is occupied only by the Director of Emergency Management,
10:46
Keavin Devine and EMS director Mike Phillips paramedics and EMTs
10:51
will move into the building within the next week or two.
10:54
They are waiting for internet service to be installed and
10:57
for the new beds to be delivered. Washington County Judge
11:00
Executive Tim Graves cut the ribbon to officially open the facility,
11:05
following remarks from Governor the Shear's Chief of Staff Rocky
11:08
Atkins and state Representative Ken King, along with a prayer
11:12
led by Father David. Guests were invited to enjoy coffee
11:16
and donuts and tour the facility. In other news in
11:22
the area, the County approves the sale of the old
11:26
EMS building by Jane Recline October twenty ninth, twenty twenty five,
11:31
just before opening the open house we just talked about
11:34
and ribbon cutting at the new Washington County Emergency Services Building.
11:38
On Friday, October twenty fourth, the county opened bids for
11:41
the purchase of the old EMS Armory Building on Armory Hill.
11:46
Last month, the county received two identical bids for the
11:49
property and asked the two interested parties, Joe pat Hayden
11:52
and John Strickland, to rebid. Upon opening the new sealed bids,
11:56
magistrates approved the sale to Strickland for fifty thousand, five
12:00
hundred thirty six dollars. Magistrates expressed pleasure with the bid
12:04
they received as they had just considered the purchase of
12:07
a generator for the new building that was not included
12:10
in the budget for the building. The court received a
12:12
quote of sixty five, five hundred dollars from Brady Electorates
12:16
for the generator and installation. The quote was accepted. Brady
12:20
will order the generator, which will arrive in twelve to
12:23
sixteen weeks. The sale of the former Armory building will
12:26
offset most of the cost of the new generator. The
12:30
court also held discussion on a Property Assessed Clean Energy
12:34
or Pace Ordinance. The court had hoped to hold second
12:37
reading of the orginance, but that reading had to be
12:40
held over to the next meeting as the ordinance needed
12:43
to be published at least seven days prior, and due
12:46
to Sunday deadlines, the publication had not been a full
12:49
seven days. The ordinance allows financing for energy efficiency improvement
12:54
projects by local businesses. Chris Jones was on hand to
12:58
answer questions and said there is no cost for the county.
13:01
It simply allows his company to finance capital improvements a
13:05
new construction that meets certain energy efficiency standards. The proposal
13:10
for the ordinance came when the Potter Gane Distillery expressed
13:13
a desire to refinance some of the capital expenses in
13:17
the construction of the new distillery. Any project wishing to
13:21
finance improvement through the PACE program will have to obtain
13:24
county approval, as the ordinance is not limited to Potter
13:28
Jane's request quote it doesn't hurt us, via Director Daniel
13:32
Carney said, and it helps local businesses. I'm all for
13:35
that and of quote in other business, The court approved
13:39
the hiring of two new employees at the County Road
13:42
Department and discussed roads to be submitted to the state
13:46
for possible aid. The next meeting of the Fiscal Court
13:49
is scheduled for Monday, November tenth, at nine. A m
13:56
proposal would clear path for religious groups to build housing
14:00
by Jane Recline, October twenty ninth, twenty twenty five the
14:04
Kentucky Housing House Force twenty twenty five her testimony last
14:08
Tuesday on using land owned by religious institutions to build
14:12
affordable housing. This isn't the first time wallmakers have proposed
14:16
the idea, but Senator Jimmy Higden, a Republican from Lebanon,
14:20
and Representative Michael Slarge Pollack, a Republican from Campbellsville, hope
14:25
their legislation will become fall during the upcoming legislation session,
14:30
which kicks off January sixth. Quote. We started it in
14:34
the Senate last year and passed it out of the
14:36
Senate with eve. It was well accepted and got to
14:39
the House, and I won't say it had a lot
14:41
of opposition, but a lot of questions, Higden said, noting
14:44
that Pollack will reintroduce the bill in the House next year.
14:48
Higden said the proposal is still a work in progress.
14:51
After he and Pollack were invited to meet with the
14:53
Sisters of Loretto, a religious community based in Marion County,
14:58
two nuns from the community knew a legislation filed in
15:01
the US Senate that broached the idea with the Kentucky legislators.
15:05
Similar legislation has also been proposed in other states, Higgin said.
15:10
Higgin said the concept allows religious institutions to bypass some loning,
15:14
some local zoning rules and build affordable housing on schurch property.
15:19
Zoning malls are restrictive and deal with sayings such as
15:22
square footage, parking lot size, single family housing, and multi
15:26
family housing. He said, quote this bill simply lets them
15:30
bypass most of those two. They have to follow building
15:33
codes in the final phase of it. Before it can
15:36
be built, it has to be approved by the local
15:38
governing body, Higden said. Pollack said when the bill came
15:42
to the House last year, it was more broad than desired,
15:45
and the short legislative session didn't allow time for the
15:48
bill to be passed. The proposal is expected to be
15:51
quote tweaked a bit, and commercial zones would be the
15:55
main target for religious institution land use, Pollack said, quote
15:59
where year today to ask for this task force to
16:02
endorse our bill this upcoming session and of quote, he said.
16:07
Representative Joshua Watkins, a Democrat from Louisville, sank Higden and
16:11
Pollack for their legislation. He said he has heard from
16:14
those involved with religious institutions in his district and other
16:17
parts of Jefferson County who strongly support the developments. Quote
16:22
I'm a big supporter of it. Can't wait to see
16:24
it in the House again, end of quote, Watkins said.
16:28
Task Force co chair. Representative Susan Whitten, a Republican from
16:31
Louisville also thanks Higden and Pollig for their bill. She
16:35
asked what would happen if religious institutions want to transfer
16:39
their property to a non religious institution. Higgin said the
16:43
issue is still being considered as lallmakers look to return
16:46
with the bill next year. The next meeting of the
16:50
task Force is scheduled for November twenty fourth at one pm.
