In an escalating battle over responsibility for mentally ill people in crisis, Virginiaâs private hospitals are pitching a new plan for using $33 million in federal aid to expand options for diverting people in psychiatric emergencies away from the stateâs overcrowded and understaffed mental hospitals.
The private hospitals, agitated by what they call âmisinformed criticismâ about their role in a crisis that prompted Virginia to halt emergency admissions to five state hospitals, said in a letter to General Assembly budget leaders that the federal American Rescue Plan Act offers a âonce-in-a-generation opportunity for the commonwealth to invest in strengthening the behavioral health system.â
