Re: Carrus Care Southlake — REVISION III
Dear Committee Member,
Carrus Behavioral Health provides comprehensive mental healthcare to pediatric and
adolescent patients at the Inpatient and Outpatient levels of care. Carrus Care Southlake
would be a clinic encompassing up to three providers: a Child and Adolescent
Psychiatrist MD/DO, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (opposite days of
the MD/DO), and two therapists. There is also a Registered Nurse staffed at each clinic.
The facility plans to house thirty patients or fewer.
The clinical structure of the facility shall include private examination rooms and group
therapy rooms. The clinic's operating hours shall be Monday through Friday, 08:00 —
17:00 hrs., and it will be closed on weekends and holidays. Patients at this clinic will be
stable from a medical and mental health standpoint and will attend the clinic on a short-
term basis to ensure that ongoing therapy and treatment plans are effective. There will be
no narcotic or other controlled medications stored or administered on -site at this location.
This location focuses on mental health therapy for stabilized individuals. Patients shall
arrive via private automobile with their parents and be escorted in and out of the building
by Carrus staff.
Carrus Care Clinics operates in Sherman, McKinney, Frisco, Flower Mound, and
Mansfield. In addition to Southlake, we are opening additional locations in Rowlett,
Keller, Plano, and Tyler. In conjunction with local physicians, our program will work
with the local school district, private and charter schools, and other youth programs to
provide local access to mental healthcare for this patient population. We have found that
working with our community partners results in successful outcomes and re -integration
into everyday daily routines following mental health treatment.
Thank you for the opportunity to present to the Southlake Planning & Development
Committee for the third time. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any

questions, comments, or concerns regarding our request, as I believe we have answered
all staff questions in detail. I sincerely appreciate your help and am hopeful the
committee will allow Carrus to make an impactful difference for the youth in the
community, as they are the light of our future!
Kind Regards,
