24 September 2010 · THE DESIGNATED CENTRE FOR ST. JOSEPH COUNTY AS OF NOVEMBER 2026

The current holder is dug at the size the row requires — a required fact, with its date. Oaklawn Psychiatric Center, Inc. became the designated Community Mental Health Center for St. Joseph County effective 5 p.m., 24 September 2010, assuming all the state-required duties and responsibilities previously provided by Madison Center, under a new agreement with the Indiana FSSA Division of Mental Health and Addiction executed simultaneous with the termination of Madison's contract. Oaklawn leased space at Madison to continue community-based services in South Bend, and more than 200 staff and thousands of clients transferred with the designation. Oaklawn's own line: founded 1962 (services from a temporary Elkhart location from July 1962; doors formally opened 11 February 1963), one of the Mennonite mental-health centres sponsored through Mennonite Health Services, Elkhart County's CMHC since 1973, its hospital opened July 1987 at 330 Lakeview Drive, Goshen; its South Bend seat stands at 415 E. Madison Street. The date Health & Care pointed away to the South Bend build — 24 September 2010 — is now printed here, in this build, with its instrument (the FSSA/DMHA agreements of September 2010).

Assembly flag AF-O10-2 / DF-2, carried, not resolved: the IRS Exempt Organizations register seats Cornerstone Family Therapy Center Inc., 1415 Lincolnway W, Suite Q, Osceola — exemption ruled November 2023 — “a counseling charity on the town's main street”. It is printed here at register size, exactly as the register gives it. It stands against the banked Health & Care sentences that no behavioral-health facility was found seated in the town and that the November 2026 system sweep returned no clinic inside the town. A therapy center is not a facility of the asylum/hospital class Health & Care tested, but health's sentence reads broader than its test. This pass does not edit Health & Care; assembly conforms health's sentence, per DF-2.
