by Steve Cook, Former New Hope CEO:
I recently gave Allison Wharry, current New Hope of Indiana CEO, a silver cup that was given to me by my mentor Bob Cannon who served as the second administrator for New Hope. New Hope was the first large private residential facility for people with developmental disabilities in Indiana when it opened in March of 1978. The program was funded through Medicaid via a per diem rate for each individual living there. At the time, Medicaid was administered by the Indiana Department of Public Welfare, which preceded the current state agency, Family and Social Services Administration. The Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) posted the following important information to the provider website at indianamedicaid.com on May 1, 2018 (unless alternate date is noted).
