PR Newswire release, 7 September 2010; banked at this history lk-tst-mind
The county's designated mental-health centre changed hands on a stated day, by agreement, without moving the patients. Madison Center, founded in 1949, was St. Joseph County's designated community mental health centre until 5 p.m. on 24 September 2010, when — by mutual agreement with the state Division of Mental Health and Addiction — Oaklawn Psychiatric Center assumed the designation and Madison's state-required duties. The 2010 release carries the mechanics: Oaklawn leased space at Madison, the transition was designed to be "essentially seamless," and inpatient services at Madison were not affected. Oaklawn's own course stands beside it: founded in 1962, Elkhart County's designated centre since 1973, its 78-bed Goshen hospital opened in July 1987. Two residues print with the article: the crisis-centre stage of the county's provision and any 2026 consolidation of the two systems were not found in the carriers read, and neither is asserted.
