Move of John Umstead patients to the new Central Regional Hospital delayed until July 21, 2008

NASW-NC has learned that there will be a delay in the move of patients from JUH to the new CRH facility until July 21, 2008.

NASW-NC along with other mental health and consumer advocates toured the CRH facility on July 8, 2008. The facility was open and spacious with lots of potential programming for consumers. It is a far better facility than what we have now, in the opinion of Jack Register, Director of Advocacy and Legislation with NASW-NC.

NASW-NC will continue to monitor the transition along with other advocates. We appreciate the deliberate nature by which the Divisions of DMH/DD/SAS and the Secretary, along with the legislature are going about the transition.
