Receiver appointed for shuttered behavioral facilities

Judges have appointed permanent receivers to oversee the sale of Retreat Behavioral Health's clinics in Florida, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, LancasterOnline reported Sept. 5. 

In June, Retreat Behavioral Health's inpatient facilities in those three states abruptly closed after one of its CEO died by suicide. A second executive died shortly thereafter, also by suicide
