The Lake Haven Behavioral Health facility in Henry County is set to reopen its specialized Geriatric Psychiatric Unit, a crucial step in addressing the mental health needs of the elderly population in the region. This unit will provide tailored mental health services to senior citizens, focusing on their unique challenges and requirements.
