 Where
is the safety net for people with mental illness in Oneida County?The state Office of Mental Health (OMH) is moving forward with plans to eliminate long term-adult inpatient services for the mentally ill in Oneida County. The adult inpatient wards at Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center (MVPC) are set to close May 7. Not only will the region have to absorb the loss of 140 jobs, those who rely on these critical services will be transferred, in some cases, more than an hour away from their families — their support network. Call the governor at 1-877-255-9417 and tell him the decision to diminish services at MVPC is not prudent or fiscally sound.  Download
