Residents Report Rights Violation and 'Gaslighting' Incident at Merrill Center Crisis Unit
Leo Diaz and Amanda Feiner spoke about an incident at the Merrill Center, a crisis stabilization unit, where Feiner was allegedly denied her right to have an advocate (Diaz) present during her medical assessment. They reported being "gaslit" by a clinician who initially denied their request, obfuscated her identity, and provided a blank card. Another staff member, Alexis, eventually facilitated their request, allowing Diaz to be present during the intake and doctor's appointment. Feiner stated the experience caused her to miss work.

Utility bill payments can be made online or via the app.
