WBFO’s Nick Lippa reports how Spectrum s Urgent Mental Health and Addiction Care Clinic in Buffalo has operated to date
Gov. Andrew Cuomo highlighted the need for more accessible mental health services during a speech about the upcoming budget last week.
We are launching 24-hour urgent care centers. This is an unforeseen, but very real byproduct of COVID has been the mental health, the stress, the isolation, the addiction problems, the domestic violence problems, Cuomo said. And we have to recognize it for what it is and we have to address it.
Spectrum Health’s Urgent Care Clinic, located on 1280 Main Street in downtown Buffalo, opened last year right before the pandemic began.
