|2=The 128-year-old former mental health institute in the small southwest Iowa city of Clarinda isn’t your typical real estate opportunity, and so far no one is rushing to move in. More than seven months after the state closed the Clarinda Mental Health Institute, much of the sprawling building remains empty, including entire floors that haven’t been used in decades.
+
|2=The state will present a report on the sources, types, and extent of the contamination at site of the former Medfield State Hospital Thursday night. The town and state expects to turn the area into residential housing, but must overcome a number of environmental hurdles first.

|2=Standing shoulder to shoulder in Room 203, the three women from different parts of the country compared their memories. Each took a job at the old [[Western State Hospital]] in successive years: 1957, 1958 and 1959. On Sunday they returned to the building for an open house of the former asylum, now the site of some of Staunton's most lavish condominiums.

|2=The official closure of [[Allentown State Hospital]] on Wednesday was part rally for residents asserting their independence and part farewell to a century-old relic of how society once regarded mental illness.

|2=[[Dorothea Dix Hospital]] isn't closed yet, but it stopped admitting patients last week and is in the process of transferring all but about 30 high-risk patients, people who committed crimes and are housed in a maximum-security unit, to other state hospitals in Butner and Goldsboro. DHHS Secretary Lanier Cansler has announced that these patients, too, will be relocated within a few months.

 +
|2=For a century or more an empty weed choked lot and the city park next door in Sparks' Conductor Heights neighborhood served as the final resting place for 800 or more souls, patients of the adjacent Nevada Mental Health Institute. They lie here in unmarked, even unrecorded graves. Many of them literally abandoned in life, receiving no more respect in death.

 +
|2=The new [[Oregon State Hospital]] is getting ready for its first wave of patients, who will all have private bedrooms and access to “treatment malls.” Nearly 100 patients are scheduled to leave cramped and dreary wards in the existing 127-year-old hospital in Salem in January and move to the new facility, called “Harbors.”

|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=Cleanup costs at the former [[Norwich State Hospital]] property may be millions less than the town first believed, First Selectman Robert Congdon said. Preston bought the hospital property from the state for $1 in March 2009, and is trying to plan its development in a sluggish economy. The town is responsible for its cleanup if it can’t find a developer.

−
|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.
