Counties Named Defendants in Suit Against New River

In the lawsuit against New River HealthCare, five counties have been named as defendants.  NC counties had previously "entered into a 160A interlocal agreement to provide mental health services for High Country citizens".  After not receiving services, a suit was filed to collect $447,252 for breach of contract and leases that were not paid.  Responsibility for payment is being directed towards the counties that were in agreement for services because New River HealthCare does not have the "surplus funds to pay for the services and leases".  Do you live in one of the counties listed?  Find out by reading more here!
