Kansas Governor Laura Kelly says a troubled unit within Osawatomie State Hospital for the mentally ill is, “not a therapeutic environment,” and promised changes. Danielle Norwood has more.
Kelly says more detailed information will be released with her proposed budget later this month and she says she will put forward a plan to lift a moratorium on new admissions to Osawatomie that has been in place for years. And that plan will include continued focus on providing care near patient’s homes and communities.
