Since we took occupancy in 1988, we have done as much as we can to make a structure and layout from another era of mental health care optimally serve our  patients with today\u2019s treatment modalities. At the same time, we try to make the best use possible of the building\u2019s features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of these is a large internal courtyard that offers outdoor recreation to patients whenever weather permits. Patients can play volleyball, shoot hoops, or just enjoy the sunshine. For a few years, the Allied Therapy Department maintained a patient vegetable garden along the courtyard\u2019s perimeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The area also serves as a special events venue. It has hosted evening concerts for patients including one featuring a brigade of bagpipers. It is also the site of an annual patient\/staff barbeque. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
