Community struggle to care for severely mentally ill
Lawrence area faces a gap between needs and resources as about 400 of Bert Nash’s 4000 yearly patients have severe mental illness. Case managers push aggressive outreach but few can force treatment. Osawatomie State Hospital and private facilities handle inpatient needs with limited beds and long waits.
