  2. GEORGIA’S REALITY • No resources for state to build new hospital infrastructure • 7 hospitals ranging from 40 to 150 years in age • $70M has been spent in the last 6 years to maintain the facilities (projected an additional $30M in next 3 years---$100M in 9 years) • Buildings were not designed for today’s active treatment requirements • Community system requires new resources that are not available in current budget environment • Front door for MHDDAD is the hospital system and should be the community system

  3. STRATEGIES • Consolidation of hospital populations • Shift the front door from the hospitals to the community • Privatization to construct new facilities • Closure of some hospitals and open community crisis stabilization programs in those areas

  4. WHY THIS GAME PLAN? • Provides new hospital infrastructure to replace outdated and inefficient facilities • Expands and enhances treatment alternatives in the community • Positions state hospitals to be used only after community options have been exhausted

  5. GAME PLAN: SFY 2009 Establish community as front door • Use SFY 2009 new fund to add community services (CSP’s, social detox, mobile crisis, transportation and ACT teams) in Columbus and Savannah areas • Increase capacity for outpatient (in jail) forensic evaluators Consolidate • Savannah forensics consolidated to West Central and Southwest • Savannah and West Central long-term adult MH clients into other hospitals or the community (IRTFs) Privatize • Cook building for Central State forensics-close deteriorating Freeman and Binion buildings • Begin refurbishment/expansion of Kidd building to house forensics
