Oregon Health and Sciences University officials expressed support for the choice of Junction City as the site for a new state psychiatric hospital.
OHSU President Dr. Joe Robertson said, "The Junction City location will create excellent educational opportunities for students and expose them to careers in the behavioral sciences and public psychiatry. Oregon has a strong need for specialists in the area of mental health."
The Junction City hospital will be the second of two psychiatric hospitals planned to replace the aging facility in Salem. The first hospital, planned for completion in 2011, will be a 620-bed facility located on the site of the existing Oregon State Hospital campus in Salem. The hospital in Junction City will hold 360 beds.
