Patton State Hospital is a forensic psychiatric hospital in San Bernardino, California, United States. Though the hospital has a Patton, California address, it lies entirely within the San Bernardino city limits.[1][2] Operated by the California Department of State Hospitals,[3] Patton State Hospital is a forensic hospital with a licensed bed capacity of 1287 for people who have been committed by the judicial system for treatment.[4]
History[]
Established in 1890 and opened in 1893 as the Southern California State Asylum for the Insane and Inebriates, it was renamed Patton State Hospital after Harry Patton, a member of the first Board of Managers, in 1927.[5] The hospital's original structure was built in accordance with the Kirkbride Plan.[6] The original buildings were demolished after they were badly damaged in the earthquake of 1923.[7]
Accreditation[]
The hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of HealthCare Corganizations (JCAHO) [8]
Burials[]
From its opening until 1934, some 2,024 patients died and were buried on the hospital grounds.[9] A memorial for them was erected and in 2011-2012 efforts were under way to identify all the deceased.[10][11]
