For those of you that may just now be joining St. Luke’s House and didn’t get the news from your fellow clients or your staff we have merged with Threshold Services. The effective date was July 1st and the new organization is known as ST. LUKE’S HOUSE/ THRESHOLD SERVICES UNITED (SLH/TSI United). Craig Knoll is the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Randy Lyon is the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and John McCutcheon is the Vice Chairman. Combined, SLH/TSI United forms the largest behavioral health care provider in Montgomery County. Together, SLH/TSI United has 68 residences that serve 1600 clients at 3 clinic locations. SLH/TSI United’s 240 member full time staff will help support their clients. Between SLH and TSI United there are 70 years of experience. In Dwayne Johnson’s opinion, who is a Life Skills Counselor at St. Luke’s House, this move became necessary because in 2014 the smaller organizations will become non – existent. However, St. Luke’s House Grants Manager Mark Foraker feels this merger became necessary so that SLH/TSI United will remain strong and competitive in the current health care environment. The new mission statement for the joint organization will be “St. Luke’s House and Threshold Services United, Inc. empowers people living with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorder to live, learn, work, and participate successfully in the community, and to have a life of their own choosing, by offering integrated behavioral health services and facilitating access to community resources, and by promoting a caring community through advocacy and education.”
