Dorothea Dix Hospital serves as the regional psychiatric hospital for the 16-county South Central Region of the Department of Health and Human Services. In collaboration with community-based mental health programs, we provide evaluation, treatment and rehabilitative services for the mentally ill. Neurological, as well as medical and surgical services are provided upon referral from other state facilities in the North Central, Eastern, and South Central regions. In addition, they provide specialized treatment to mentally ill deaf and hard of hearing patients from across the state.
