About

Sequel Pomegranate Health Systems was a youth residential treatment facility in Columbus, Ohio. Disability Rights Ohio described Sequel Pomegranate as serving children ages 12-17 with mental health, emotional, and behavioral disorders, and identified Sequel Youth and Family Services of Huntsville, Alabama, as the owner of the facility (Disability Rights Ohio).

The facility was the subject of a nine-month Disability Rights Ohio investigation into systemic and cultural issues affecting children in treatment. In public discussion of proposed Ohio legislation, the Ohio House reported that the state suspended admissions after the investigation, that the facility changed its name, and that it voluntarily relinquished its license in 2021 (Ohio House of Representatives).

News coverage in 2021 reported that Pomegranate Health Systems was closing after Franklin County Children Services ended its contract with the facility. The coverage described Pomegranate as a psychiatric residential treatment facility in Columbus (10TV).
