Blowing the Whistle to Protect Vulnerable Patients

Acadia Healthcare is a massive for-profit chain of psychiatric hospitals, who recently settled a False Claims Act case for nearly $20 million.

In today’s episode, one of the whistleblowers, Jamie Clark Thompson, sits down with us to lay out the massive corporate fraud behind the case, holding mental health patients longer than necessary, and kept staffing at dangerously low levels.

She is joined with one of her lawyers, Eva Gunasekera of Tycko & Zavareei.
