What does not-for-profit mean?
Riverbend is not a state funded agency, but rather it is a locally incorporated, public not-for-profit center operated based on monies received from local cities and counties, mental health contracts, insurance, Medicare and Medicaid, and donations from individuals, corporations, and other non-profit organizations.
