Psychiatric Bed Capacity Increases More than 30% Under Kelly Administration
Statement
Issues: Health and Health Care
"A lack of psychiatric beds has been one of the largest barriers preventing mental health resources and care from reaching Kansans who need them. A 30% increase in capacity reflects a major step forward," Governor Laura Kelly said. "Now, we must continue our progress in addressing the mental health crisis here in Kansas by reducing the stigma around mental illness and substance use disorders and by dedicating additional, much-needed resources to these challenges."
