Mission

THOUGH THE REFUGE FOR DMST RESPONDED TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES AS REQUIRED BY LAW AND LICENSING STANDARDS, TERMINATED NECESSARY EMPLOYEES, COOPERATED WITH INVESTIGATIONS AND WAS EXONERATED OF ALL CHARGES, OUR FACILITY REMAINED CLOSED FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2022. MOST OF OUR STAFF WAS LAID OFF IN JUNE 2022.
