Madison Center's End, as Separate Events — Designation, Takeover, and the Undated Remainder

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

The banked file compresses the centre's end into the single designation transfer of 24 September 2010; the end in fact came in separable events, and they are separated here and dated as far as the carriers date them. Event one, the designation: effective 5 p.m. on 24 September 2010, by mutual agreement, Oaklawn Psychiatric Center assumed the state designation as St. Joseph County's Community Mental Health Center, Madison's managed-care contract with the state terminated at the same hour, Oaklawn leased space at Madison, and — the release is express — inpatient services at Madison were not affected by the change. Event two, the takeover of the ground: in early 2011 Memorial Hospital pledged to provide psychiatric services at the former Madison Center properties on Niles Avenue, which became the Epworth Center and Hospital — in time serving more than 10,000 patients a year, closing the older Madison buildings across the following decade and upgrading others. Event three has no date this section could reach: a distinct corporate sale or closure date for Madison Center itself, as against the designation it lost in 2010 and the properties it yielded in 2011, appears in no carrier opened, and it is named as residue with its settler — state designation records and contemporary press — standing current. The story's present tense belongs to the successor: in October 2026 Beacon Health System announced the consolidation of all its behavioural health services at the Memorial Epworth Center, to conclude by 1 December 2026. Madison Center's end thus prints as what it was: a designation surrendered on a dated hour, a campus taken over within months, and a corporate remainder whose last date the open record does not give.
