Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Includes srvices to be provided) Maintain current level of community mental health services being provided.  The potential closure of G. Pierce Woods State Hospital will have a domino effect on placement of mental health patients.  Beds previously available to WFCCC at the State Hospital in Chatahoochee would no longer be available because of statewide demands for beds.  The reduction of $425,000 from WFCCC's budget will cause further reduction of services so that the number of patients currently being treated at the facility will be reduced.
