History
ACP was founded in 1980 by John Brose, Ph.D., L.P. and Charles S. Evans, Ph.D., L.P. Drs. Brose and Evans goal was to establish a mental health organization that embodied their personal philosophies on how to deliver the highest quality of care.
Since its inception ACP has grown to five clinical locations. The additional clinics have helped ACP meet the demand for mental health services in the Twin Cities region. With it's five clinics ACP is able to offer clients extended hours and their choice of location.
Drs. Brose and Evans recognized early that there was a need for mental health services outside the traditional clinical setting. As a result, they focused efforts on developing ways to reach clients in non-traditional settings. Today, ACP has over 80 clinicians to provide services in long term care facilities, client homes, and other residential settings.
Since 1980, ACP has sought to pioneer improvements in service delivery through an aggressive quality assurance process, ongoing staff training, cooperative programming development with other care providers, and the creation of innovative and effective models of treatment. Because of ACP's commitment to quality care, ACP has been privileged to be an active player in the development of regulatory processes to protect the rights, dignity and quality of life for older adults residing in care facilities.
Since Dr. Evan’s retirement in 1997, Dr. Brose has assumed sole ownership and has provided clinical direction for ACP’s 85 clinicians. Dr. Brose continues today to provide leadership to achieve our mission of being the provider of choice for behavioral health services in the Twin Cities.
