RALEIGH'S DIX HOSPITAL WILL STAY OPEN THROUGH 2011
It appears Raleigh's Dorothea Dix Hospital will not shut its doors by this February as state and local lawmakers had originally planned. Wake County officials are working to finalize a plan that would keep the state mental health hospital open until 2011. The change in plans makes 32 beds available to the county as it transitions patients to the John Umstead Hospital in Butner. John Tote, Executive Director of the Mental Health Association of North Carolina, says the debate about future use of the 306 acre Dix campus has overshadowed any plans for using some of the buildings there.
