The Impact of Redeployment of Funds on a Model State Hospital
Abstract
The development of the Fort Logan Mental Health Center, which opened in Denver in 1961, was strongly influenced by recommendations of the Joint Commission on Mental Illness and Health. It became an innovative, award-winning facility for state-funded, long-term care of patients with the major mental illnesses. Within the past two years, however, funds have been redeployed from the hospital to community resources, hospital services have been cut back, and there is a possibility that the hospital may be forced to conform to the classical state hospital model. The director of the center gives a chronological description of the transition.
