OU Inpatient Mental Health Services are Discontinued

The Psychiatry Inpatient Unit at OU Medical Center will be closing next month. Officials cited budget cuts, reduced staffing, and declining demand for inpatient care as reasons for the closing. Officials say the closing won't affect any of its current patients, since most of those patients typically stay less than two weeks. New patients who need mental health services will be transferred to other facilities.
