On May 19, 2010, the state made a formal request to the St. Louis Regional Health Commission (RHC) to create a local plan to address issues created by the closure. In response to the state’s request, the RHC convened a regional Planning Group and a Short-Term Crisis Management Team to understand the scope and scale of the closure and its impact on the community and to identify and address the key issues the closure creates. The RHC also convened a Regional Psychiatric Capacity Task Force to develop long-term solutions for the closure of MPC. The following reports were developed through this regional planning process: Short-Term Crisis Management Team's MPC Impact Statement (2010) Short-Term Crisis Management Team's Emergency Response, Capacity and Communications Plan (2010) MPC Regional Pscyhiatric Capacity Analysis and Recommendations (2010) (Regional Psychiatric Capacity Task Force Final Report) For more information, please contact Robert Fruend (314.446.6454 x1131) or Angela Brown (314.446.6454 x1011) In April 2010, the State of Missouri Department of Mental Health (DMH) announced its intent to close the Emergency Department (ED) and acute care beds at Metropolitan St. Louis Psychiatric Center (MPC).
