Column urges Missouri to use empty hospitals for mental health care
Original: Messenger: Why not use empty hospitals to solve Missouri’s mental health crisis?
A St. Louis Post-Dispatch Messenger column argues that Missouri should convert underused or empty hospitals into facilities addressing the state's mental health crisis. The piece raises the question of why vacant medical infrastructure is not being repurposed at a time when mental health needs are rising and treatment capacity remains scarce across the state.
Why now: The column's proposal to repurpose empty hospitals offers a concrete answer to Missouri's ongoing mental health treatment shortage.
