In 1970 the hospital served thirty counties in the East Texas Gulf Coast area through eight units. The average daily census for 1970 was 1,796. Since 1972-73, when the hospital had a population of 1,950 patients, different methods of treating the mentally ill, which emphasize outpatient programs and de-institutionalization, have resulted in reduced populations. In 1982-83 the hospital had 952 patients; in 1992, only 442. | In 1970 the hospital served thirty counties in the East Texas Gulf Coast area through eight units.
