Please note: Kenny Pannell and Mary Alexine have never publicly responded to allegations against them. They appear to be no longer involved with Chrysalis in Eureka, Montana since its sale to Embark Behavioral Health. Chrysalis opened in 1998; however, the exact year when Kenny and Mary left is not readily available information.

*Correction: In a previous draft of this episode, we incorrectly reported that, "Intermountain Hospital in Boise, Idaho, which is still in operation and under the ownership of Intermountain Health." which is incorrect. Intermountain Health has no affiliation with Intermountain Hospital. We apologize for the error and appreciate it being brought to our attention. Thank you!
