Ellis Medicine is opening a new mental health clinic for children and adolescents in Schenectady, New York.
The $1.5 million clinic opening Monday relocates the network’s mental health services for kids and teens from the McClellan Street Health Center to a larger space next to the adult facility at the State Street Health Center. Ellis officials say they’ve planned to bring the two outpatient clinics together for years – but the timing is apt. Mental Health Service Line Director Lin Murray says, like adults, kids have been struggling during the pandemic.
