- Generally positive survey results regarding quality of care, courtesy, and respect in some internal assessments
Common complaints

- Perceptions of inadequate intervention for serious mental illness before a crisis escalates to a legal or criminal issue
"Once again Dr. Murrillo has shown herself to be truly compassionate, capable, and understanding. Her willingness to listen without showing judgment or prejudice and provide honest feedback has been a tremendous source of healing and support."
— Patient testimonial, Adventist Health (Ukiah)"The system does not take family experience and knowledge as a pathway to intervention. The system lies in wait and responds only when an incident occurs instead of the proactive approach families try to initiate."
— Anderson Valley Advertiser, op-ed/commentary"You soon learn that nobody wants to take on the responsibility of mitigating a mental illness crisis. Every day families are discriminated against as they try to navigate the system and get help as their loved one deteriorates into their illness! It is simply unacceptable."
