History
Wellstone Center for Recovery is named after the late Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone, a loud voice and advocate for the mental health community.
With his wife Sheila by his side, Wellstone worked across the aisle to champion mental health parity—the principle that insurance companies should cover mental health just like they cover other medical care.
After Paul’s untimely death in 2002, Senator Al Franken worked with Paul’s son, David, to write the final rules for the law Paul pushed. The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA) is a federal law that generally prevents group health plans and health insurance issuers that provide mental health or substance use disorder benefits from imposing less favorable benefit limitations on those benefits than on medical/surgical benefits.
