Utah 'therapeutic' boarding school loses license after death of student Taylor Goodridge
Fox News
Diamond Ranch Academy, a Utah boarding school where teenager Taylor Goodridge died of sepsis and was allegedly denied proper medical care for weeks, lost its license to operate last week.
In a letter dated July 11, the DHHS rejected the school's request for day treatment and outpatient treatment licenses. The department noted that the school's assistant medical director has been accused of physical neglect and that the school's staff had been observed neglecting clients.
A state medical review panel found "breaches in the standard of care" at Diamond Ranch Academy. The facility will remain open until August 14 as it discharges clients, according to the documents.
