The Center, located in Bakersfield, California is one of four in the state dedicated to transitioning individuals back into the community rather than face institutionalization.

Eric Miller, Vice President, Professional Clinical Staffing for Columbus, commented, "This is quite an opportunity for Columbus, and we are thrilled that this allows us to expand our service offerings in Bakersfield. We recognize that the Porterville Developmental Center does an incredible job helping individuals transition back to community settings, but there is a segment of individuals whose complex healthcare needs make that prospect difficult. As experts in healthcare for the IDD and complex care communities, we feel perfectly suited to bring the highest quality health professionals to the Center and make a significant impact on this unique population."

Hiring for the one-year contract will begin immediately.
