Closing Hospital Would Be Wrong

Share via

* The employee layoffs and downsizing of the number of patients at Camarillo State Hospital is a clear indication of the impending closure of the State Developmental Hospital, which Dr. Stephen Mayberg, California mental health director, vehemently denies.

The closure of the hospital would be unconscionable, absolutely morally wrong, and would result in great tragedy not only to our unfortunate mentally ill populace, but also all Californians and specifically Ventura County residents.

The brain is arguably the most vital organ of the human body. It is tragic to find only a very minimal amount of time and money going toward research for its cause.
