Statistics show that women who participate in the PATH Clinic program, maintain sobriety, return to productive lives and keep their babies. How can you not fund such a successful program 90% maintained custody of their child 8 weeks after delivery. 94% tested to be clean at the time of birth of their child. 80% of these women remained abstinent and a significant number decreased their use. I and the League of Women Voters strongly support this Clinic and it's staff and the Women who have found success and recovery there, and request that you provide requested funding as soon as possible as they are in a fiscal crisis.
