|2=Christina Morris happily remembers Sunday morning breakfasts with her grandparents, followed by visits to the peaceful cemeteries on the grounds of the Peoria State Hospital, where some family members are buried. “My interest with the state hospital started when I was about 7 years old,” Morris said in a recent interview. “When I would come onto the grounds (my grandfather) would say that this was a place of special people. (By special) I thought he meant giants, because these buildings were so big and beautiful and immaculate to me. I just was enamored by how beautiful it was.”
+
|2= A memorial ceremony is to be held on Sunday April 18th in honor of patients buried in the cemeteries at Bryce Hospital. The ceremony will take place in the hospital’s chapel at 2PM.

+
|2= Union workers from the Fulton State Hospital delivered hundreds of petition cards to the governor's office on Thursday to fight to save their jobs and their services. The workers face desperate times. They've been told that, beginning fairly soon and continuing through the end of next year, as many as 200 of their colleagues could lose their jobs at the hospital.
−
|2=Not too long ago, more than 60,000 people were sterilized in the United States based on eugenic laws. Most of these operations were performed before the 1960s in institutions for the so-called “mentally ill” or “mentally deficient.” In the early 20th century across the country, medical superintendents, legislators, and social reformers affiliated with an emerging eugenics movement joined forces to put sterilization laws on the books.

+
|2= Built strong and with a purpose, health facilities can be difficult to transform to new uses after they are abandoned. They have sturdy floors, engineered to support heavy equipment but difficult to drill through for new wiring and plumbing. To reduce the risk of fire -- always a greater danger anywhere oxygen is being used -- many older buildings were fireproofed with asbestos.

|2= Harrisburg, PA-The state has hired a Lancaster planning company to help it figure out what to do with the former [[Harrisburg State Hospital]], which closed 10 years ago. Since closing in 2006, the hospital complex has housed state workers from the state police, Department of General Services and the Department of Human Services. It is now part of the larger DGS Annex property, which encompasses 303 acres across Harrisburg and Susquehanna Township.

 +
|2=The campus is sprawling and mostly empty.  Huge old hospital buildings with segregation-era labels like "white male receiving building" are rapidly decaying from disuse.  The empty buildings are gothic, moldering monuments to a time when this place housed and treated the desperately ill - and filled other, less noble purposes.
