VI Reevaluation of HCA North Hills Medical Center
Mr. Easton, a parent of a child currently in Teen Court, raised a concern about
Teen Court using HCA North Hills Medical Center as a placement for teens to do
their community service hours. HCA is the only one on the list which is a for profit
organization. He feels other "for profit" business will want "free" labor or their
businesses. He said he kaows of several non-profit organizations that can help
Teen Court place teens, and will provide us with such list at the next court session.
In rebuttal, HCA has the highest complerion ra.te of all of our placements and have
been very easy to deal with.
