Osawatomie State Hospital limits admissions amid renovations
KDADS has placed a moratorium capping OSH admissions at 146, down from 206, while renovations proceed. The move aims to reduce patient numbers but may delay care for those with severe mental illness as some require transfer to other facilities. The waiting list must admit in order of arrival, with about $3.5 million set aside to divert potential admissions to private psychiatric beds and other facilities.
