...Magnolia Therapeutic Solution Case Study Patience A. Steward BSHS 373 February 4, 2013 Megan Burke Magnolia Therapeutic Solution Case Study The Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions Case Study defines to other organizations or businesses, especially that falling under the government expense or support how important it is to scrutinize on routine basis the cash flow of finances and effective decision making carefully. The magnolia Therapeutic Case constructed by Mary Stewart, was action put in place to assist those individual suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorders. Mary saw the need for initial to continuous help as a steady increase with this disorder from many of her private sessions. Many health professions prior to the Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions was no over concern in the area of Post Traumatic Stress Disorders. In such a manner, Mary Stewart created the organization under non-profit ideals and generously accepted a large government donation. Sadly is the downfall of an assumption that cost Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions to discontinue services that helped so many clients involved. The intent of this essay will explore the problems and concerns of the organization, the decisions made affecting organizational infrastructure, and risks taken within management. Problems and Concerns According to the Mayo Clinic (1998-2012), “Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event. Symptoms may include flashbacks...

...Magnolia Case Study Amber Meenach BSHS/373 Scott Kersh Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions is a non-profit organization based in New York City that helps provide psychotherapy for those suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). After the traumatic events of 9/11/01 when terrorists attacked out Twin Towers, Magnolia was granted extra funds from the state of New York to help treat victims who were suffering due to the attack. Due to the upsurge of clients Magnolia now was having to service, they increased staff and administrative services. Mary Stewart, the founder and executive director of Magnolia, counted on the grant from the state to be renewed for the following year, an when it was not granted Magnolia found themselves $500,000 short of their expected budget and ultimately caused the organizations downfall. In this paper I will be discussing how I would have decided things differently in the case of Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions. Board Decision The first mistake that I feel was made was that the board allowed Mary Stewart to count the state grant for another year, without any indication that it would be offered for a second year. Money that is not guaranteed should never be worked into the budget. This is why there was such a significant short fall in the outcome versus what was expected. As a board member, I would have proposed that we remove the grant from the budget, and only included the funds that are already in place for each fiscal year. If the grant...

...Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions Case Study After reviewing over the case study of the Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions, I am not in agreement with the decision that was put forth by the board of directors. The decision of the board of directors was put into action solely on the increase services they were providing to the people who suffered from 9/11. I believe this decision not be a sufficient reason to increase the budget and ask for more grant money for the next physical year. The decision that I would have made in this case would have been to continue to run the program as before and increases the funds, budgets grants as needed. Mary's decision to expand the structure of the company was based on how much the organization had grown over a period, and the local government giving them the opportunity to treat the victims of 9/11. However, I do not believe the decision was the best at the time. The grant that they received for those who suffered from the terrorist attack on September 11 was only to meet the needs, treated and the services the victims would need at the time, not to expand the organization. Because only a few organizations specialized in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at the time, the grant provided to them by the city allowed Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions to aid in the helping the individuals suffering from PTSD. I believe this lead Mary to believe this would be an ongoing service she would be able to provide. However, Mary did not take into...

...Mongolia Therapeutic Solutions Case Kris Carey BSH/373 Jason Rhoades March 21, 2014 Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions Case Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions also referred to as Magnolia is a nonprofit organization started by Mary Stewart. The organization is head out of New York City and is an organization that helps provide psychotherapy to individuals with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). Mary started the Magnolia to help the high demand of those diagnosed with PTSD. Mary in this case has proposed a budget to the board to include a contract that is not up for renewal. This contract was for the needs of those that suffered from September 11, 2001 devastating acts of terror. This contract was put in place for only one year and was not set to renew for any future funding. Mary also put in this budget steeper demands on the development department she wanted them to raise more money in the coming year. This with an ailing economy Mary still felt this was something that could be done to help those with PTSD. Magnolia took a risk when making the budget for the new year with making assumptions. Mary was making a push to keep the grant in the budget that was no longer available as the year had finished. Mary also pushed for steeper demands on getting more revenue for the organization. When taking a step back as a board member the first priority is not the speaker but what is realistic to move forward. Myself if I had been a board member I would be looking at all the facts...

...Magnolia Therapeutic Case Study Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions is a nonprofit organization specializing in providing services of psychotherapy for individuals who have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Syndrome Disorder, commonly referred to as PTSD. After disaster strikes, or is experienced by someone, it is difficult to lead life the same way as before, causing several issues to arise. Some are recommended to seek treatment, and Magnolia is the place to seek treatment. After the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001, Magnolia took the opportunity to help New York City sufferers who have been diagnosed with PTSD. Due to the high volume of individuals who needed treatment, the state provided a sizable grant to the organization to meet the increase of demands and services. This allowed the organization to hire additional professionals and utilize the remaining funds for administrative services. However, there was a decision made to increase the budget for the next year by the board of directors which resulted in a loss of funds. Importance of Financial Management Financial management is an important factor for nonprofit organizations. In order to compete with for-profit businesses, nonprofit human service agencies and administrators must become more cost conscious and much better at the practice of financial management (Martin, 2001). Financial management is probably more important to nonprofit organizations, including both government and private nonprofit human service...

..."NATURAL PRESERVATIVES" Anthony C. Dweck Research Director, Peter Black Medicare Ltd., White Horse Business Park, Aintree Avenue, Trowbridge, Wiltshire, UK. BA14 0XB SUMMARY This paper looks at the theoretical development of a natural preservative system using the author's data base on medicinal plants as a source of references. The legal aspects of this concept are considered. The traditional methods of preservation, many taken from the food industry are summarised. The use of alcohol, glycerine, sugar, salt, dessication, anhydrous systems and temperature are amongst examples considered. The definitions of the many words used to describe the act of preservation are considered, and the confusion that results from the presence of the many synonyms is considered. e.g. antimicrobial, antibiotic, antiseptic, bactericidal, etc. Specific organisms are identified as being of particular interest, especially those standard organisms that form part of the B.P. challenge test. These include Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus niger and Staphylococcus aureus. A cross-section of plants mentioned in the literature as being specifically targeted at these organisms are considered. The paper concludes with Appendices of plant materials that have mention in the literature according to specific definitions, which may give researchers a potential introduction to future research. KEY WORDS Natural preservation, traditional preservation, challenge test organisms...

The dog was part of it. He wasn't fond of German shepherds, and this one, though he was standing quietly, reminded him of Panther, the police dog that rode with Deputy Kenny Moore and was quick to bite suspects in the crotch at the slightest command. Most of the time he regarded Moore as an idiot, but he was still just about the closest thing to a friend that Clayton had in the department, and he had to admit that Moore had a way of telling those crotch-biting stories that made Clayton double over in laughter. And Moore would definitely have appreciated the little skinny-dipping party Clayton had just broken up, when he'd spied a couple of coeds sunning down by the creek in all their morning glory. He hadn't been there for more than a few minutes and had snapped only a couple...
