Washoe County

When West Hills Hospital closed just over two years ago, the community was left with no other resource for in-patient therapy, psychiatry and rehab for adults. In August, the Washoe County Board of County Commissioners approved the purchase of the shuttered hospital and the county plans to bring it back to life to fit the growing need for behavioral health care in our community.  We are joined by County Manager Eric Brown and Interim Human Services Agency Director Ryan Gustafson to discuss future plans.
