The long-overdue redesign of the Austin State Hospital is nearing completion. Together with several other new and renovated state mental health facilities across the state, Austin State Hospital will soon provide modern space to support the care of Central Texans in need of inpatient treatment during a mental health crisis. However, opening the new facility is not the end of improving Texas’ mental health care, but rather a first step toward the transformation envisioned by the 2018 ASH Brain System Health Campus Redesign plan.
