Mark Twain Behavioral Health breaks ground on new facility
Kirksville Daily Express
Staff members of Mark Twain Behavioral Health broke ground Tuesday morning, a ceremonial start of construction on a new, expanded facility on Pfieffer Avenue.
The new building will cover about 18,000 square feet, featuring more than 20 offices for staff members to work with patients. Construction is expected to last one year, and once finished, the new facility will connect to the current one.
Expansion talks picked up last year as there was a steep demand for mental health services as the pandemic started. But Mark Twain was already feeling that need before the pandemic.

BRIDGEPORT A local man was being held in lieu of $1 million bond after police said he stabbed his girlfriend more than half a dozen times and left her laying in a pool of blood.
Tavon Phills, 26, of Parrott Avenue, was charged with attempted murder and first-degree assault.
“The victim was covered in so much blood police couldn’t tell how many times she had been stabbed,” Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Tiffany Lockshier said during Phills arraignment on Monday afternoon. “She is in critical condition.”
