Ember Reichgott Junge Joins People Incorporated Mental Health Services

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 12, 2012 - ST. PAUL, MN – People Incorporated Mental Health Services has hired former Minnesota State Senator Ember Reichgott Junge as its new vice president of strategic outcomes. Junge is charged with pursuing strategic growth opportunities on behalf of the organization.

“People Incorporated Mental Health Services is one of those crucial Minnesota institutions that is well-known and highly respected in public policy circles, but mostly flies under the general public's collective radar,” says Junge. “More than 600 dedicated employees operate behind the scenes every day to help those with mental illness avoid hospitalization and institutionalization, and live their lives with purpose and hope. I’m proud to be joining such an important organization.”

People Incorporated is the state’s largest provider of community services for those with mental illness, operating more than 60 programs across the Twin Cities metro in the areas of: treatment services (mental illness/chemical dependency/crisis); children’s and family services; homeless outreach services; mental health clinical services; case management services; residential services; and community support services.

“We’re thrilled to be welcoming Ember to our team,” says People Incorporated CEO Dr. Tim Burkett. “Ember will be helping us with planful growth of our current programming, and expanded strategic collaboration within the greater healthcare community. This work is essential to People Incorporated’s future, and I look forward to where her efforts will take us.”

People Incorporated Mental Health Services is on the web at PeopleIncorporated.org, on Facebook at PeopleIncorporated, and on Twitter at @PeopleIncorp.
