Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center
Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center[1][2] is a psychiatric hospital located in Utica.[3] Its predecessor was established in 1836.[4]
History[]
Mohawk Valley Psychiatric was once called Utica State Hospital; the latter was a lunatic asylum.[1] This haven for the insane[5] was highlighted in 1999 as among New York's "shrinking hospitals for the mentally ill for years. An empty corridor."[6]
Utica State Hospital[]
Utica State Hospital[5][7] was one of the first hospitals of its type in the United States.[4][8] It was initially named The New York Lunatic Asylum.[9][8] To rehabilitate some of its patients "a printing shop was established." In 1844 they published "American Journal of Insanity, the world's first journal devoted to mental illness."[9]
"McPike Addiction Treatment Center is a 68-bed inpatient facility located in Utica, New York, on the campus of the Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center (MVPC)."[10]
