Commissioners approve $841,421 Bowen Health agreement for 2026 mental-health services
Summary
The county authorized an agreement with Bowen Health for community mental-health services in 2026 at $841,421 and updated the contract to reflect Indiana Code 12-21-2-1.1's compensation-related eligibility provisions.
The county attorney presented and commissioners approved an agreement with Bowen Health, Kosciusko County's community mental-health center, for calendar-year 2026 services in the amount of $841,421.
The county attorney explained the agreement was updated "so that it is in compliance with Indiana code 12-21-2-1.1," which the attorney summarized as a requirement that community mental-health centers confirm no individual employee receives compensation of $400,000 or more per year in order to be eligible to receive the funds. "The amount for the agreement for services for 2026 is 841,421 dollars," the county attorney said when presenting the contract.
Commissioners moved and approved the updated agreement by voice vote.
Why it matters: Bowen Health provides county-funded community mental-health services; this contract commits county funds for the coming year and includes a certification step intended to align the provider with state eligibility requirements.
Next steps: the county will finalize the agreement paperwork and process payments per contract terms; Bowen Health must confirm compliance with the cited Indiana code provision.
