The regional center, located on the Olmsted County government campus at 2121 Campus Drive SE in Rochester, will provide 24-hour access to mental health staff for residents of 10 southeastern Minnesota counties.
Along with the 24-hour walk-in clinic, the center will provide short-term, in-patient care for anyone 10 and older needing more than 23 hours of evaluation and treatment. With 16 beds, at least half are dedicated to young people.
Bruce Sutor, a Mayo Clinic psychiatrist and chairman of the crisis center’s executive team, said his 25 years of experience in providing mental health care in the region points to an increasing need as more people turn to emergency rooms.

While it’s stationed in the Med City, its services will stretch across 10 counties: Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca and Winona.

There is in his work a careful calibration of his characters inner lives, of small dramas in no way empty of incident, whose ultimate crux is the desultory, dangerous weight of time: time is too slow, nothing ever changes, time doesn’t matter, then it is too abrupt, it’s unbearably long all in prose that is as lean and clean as its implications can be dark.
