News: For Immediate Release
\nPremiere Behavioral Health Organizations Join Forces<\/p>\n

Consolidation Increases Access and Care to Virginia’s Most Vulnerable Populations<\/p>\n

November 1, 2010 \u2013 Last week, the efforts of Grafton and Graydon Manor \u2013 two of Virginia\u2019s leading behavioral health organizations – reached a major milestone. On October 27, the Boards from both approved all merger terms. Doing so allows the combined entity to draw upon Graydon\u2019s long history of providing superior treatment for children, adolescents and adults with serious psychiatric and emotional problems, substance abuse or learning disabilities, as well as Grafton\u2019s internationally recognized expertise in treating those with co-occurring intellectual, developmental and psychiatric disabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth organizations have the same mission – helping individuals and families live better lives,\u201d said James Gaynor, Grafton\u2019s CEO. \u201cThis opportunity aligns precisely with the strategy Grafton has outlined to broaden its behavioral health services. We will be able to pool resources, broaden our services and expand in key service areas. Most importantly, it allows us to be even more successful in reaching and serving a larger number of individuals and families across Virginia.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2010, Grafton and Graydon Manor began a consolidation process designed to continuously improve the way in which the most vulnerable individuals throughout Virginia are served. The consolidation will allow the combined organization to build upon and expand service lines, extend their historic \u201cbest practice\u201d missions to new emergent populations in need and maintain \u2013 and, in many areas, improve \u2013 the existing quality of services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to continually improve the care we provide to clients,\u201d said Eileen Roehr, Graydon Manor\u2019s executive director. \u201cAnd we have determined that, as a consolidated entity, we can be more successful in doing so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jim Gaynor will have responsibility for leading the organization. In this capacity, he will direct managerial and executive decision-making in close coordination with Graydon Manor executives, including Eileen Roehr, who will continue to play an important leadership role.<\/p>\n

The merger will be take effect by early 2011. In the meantime, both legacy organizations will remain keenly focused on providing the highest quality of treatment and care to clients and to making the integrated organization the provider of choice.<\/p>\n
