|2=Building two new mental hospitals to replace the [[Oregon State Hospital]] in Salem doesn't make sense during the worst recession in generations, critics say. The two-hospital plan grew out of a state-commissioned report issued in 2006 — before the economy tanked, spinning off double-digit unemployment, reduced tax revenue to pay for state government and looming budget deficits.

July 6, 2010 Wrecking Ball Meets Topeka State Hospital

Say farewell to a historic part of Topeka. Workers Tuesday took the wrecking ball to the famous Center Building of the former Topeka State Hospital.

July 1, 2010 Vacant Central State Property Eyed For Large Facility

A long-vacant old hospital grounds could become the home of a new, multimillion-dollar sports complex. Central Indiana State Hospital closed in 1994, and Indianapolis bought the property in 2004. A private company had planned to build commercial and residential space there a couple of years ago, but the plan didn't materialize.

June 15, 2010 Transfer of patients into Wernersville State Hospital from Allentown nearly complete

The transfer of patients to Wernersville State Hospital from Allentown State Hospital is drawing to a close. The hospital's chief executive officer, Andrea B. Kepler, said 49 patients have come over since the end of April and only a handful remain to be transferred to the inpatient treatment center for serious and persistent mental illness.

June 12, 2010 In Florida, a Lifeline to Patients With TB

The last of the nation’s original tuberculosis sanitariums sits, improbably, just off Interstate 95, near a Dunkin’ Donuts and a Motel 6, and just behind fields of children playing soccer. The fading signs out front simply say A.G. Holley Hospital. There is nothing to suggest that one of history’s greatest killers lurks inside.

June 10, 2010 Despite slow economy, Danvers state project forges ahead

It has endured a fire and a poor economy, but the long-awaited redevelopment of the former Danvers State Hospital site is gradually taking shape.

June 1, 2010 Center building demolition begins

Demolition of the historic Center Building of the former Topeka State Hospital began Tuesday, said Ron Harbaugh, spokesman for Topeka Unified School District. In February 2009, USD 501 acquired 152 acres of land and 30 buildings near S.W. 6th and MacVicar, which was home to the former hospital.
