Metrocare’s New Mental Health and Disability Innovation Center at Hillside
The 45,000-sq.-ft. Mental Health Clinic will serve as the centerpiece of the new campus where children, adults, families, veterans, and those with disabilities will receive integrated, evidence-based care.
These new state-of-the-art facilities will play an essential role in further dismantling the stigma and shame historically associated with public mental health care in the injustice of passing off marginal facilities as adequate. Sadly, this has all too often been the case in the history of behavioral and intellectual disability care for disadvantaged populations, who have been told to “make do with what you get.”
