What number building is this in? :)

Under Reagan it became policy and a goal to close these hospitals. It was a fiscally driven not medically driven policy. They were seen as wasteful.

Certainly there are some patients who do very well on their own, but some who can't transition as well.

The policy can be traced as far back as the Community Mental Health Act of 1963. But at Kings Park the bulk of the patients were moved out duing the Reagan era.

I didn't find it all too creepy; some of the older gurneys and exam tables in other hospitals were more unnerving.

There were many raccoons inside every time I've been there...

that looks relatively new, yet theres something haunting about it...Motts in person is it creepy? They whole medical eery side about it?

i shouldnt have looked at that.
