Senator Carper and Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester聽secured the funding as a part of the Congressionally Directed Spending grant process for FY2023. The purpose of this treatment area is to help the hospital reach the most vulnerable during their highest time of need. The addition of behavioral health services and beds in the Emergency Department will also allow for better care, assessment and treatment prior to accessing the next level of service they need.
