History
The facility, which provides psychiatry and services for elderly patients, was completed in 1983.[1] A serious outbreak of diarrhea and vomiting, in which three people died, occurred at the hospital in October 2002.[2] In 2018 the hospital started to make the hospital safer by removing sink pipes, door closers and shower taps.[3]
