Grant Sought For Partial Hospitalization Facility At UCS
United Counseling Service seeks a 51 750 federal grant to cover half of an 103 500 cost addition to the Putnam Memorial Hospital building in Bennington County. The plan aims to provide a partial hospitalization facility under the Community Mental Health Construction and Staffing Act of 1965 to aid mentally ill patients reintegrating into the community with day programs and therapies. Private donations would cover the remaining funds as no state aid is planned.
