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.
