SR-178, As Adopted by Senate, October 17, 2012
Senators Johnson, Whitmer, Bieda, Hunter, Hopgood, Gregory, Caswell, Moolenaar and Hood offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 178.
A resolution declaring October 23, 2012, as StoneCrest Center Mental Health Awareness Day in Michigan.
Whereas, Mental illness touches 1 in 7 Michigan families, and more than 500,000 people in Michigan have severe mental illness that affects not only them, but their families and the communities in which they live; and
Whereas, Nashville-based Behavioral Centers of America, a growing health care company committed to the single specialty of psychiatric health care that is redefining how mental health care is delivered with new models of diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, has selected Detroit for a $20 million master campus investment to help address the critical need for mental health care services in metro Detroit and Michigan; and
Whereas, StoneCrest Center is already about halfway through its $20 million, three-phase investment in Detroit, turning a formerly bankrupt eastside hospital into a comforting and healing urban oasis and major regional health care asset; and
Whereas, Completed and presented to the community today is a totally rebuilt-to-new-standards unit for adults and youth, providing a warm, friendly, and nurturing environment, as well as a completely renovated geriatrics unit; and
Whereas, StoneCrest Center is committed to caring, compassionate, and professional mental health care with dignity and respect at its master campus "oasis in the city," in which "everybody is somebody in our community"; and
Whereas, StoneCrest Center is opening its doors to the community with a daylong debut of tours and information on mental health care services; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we hereby declare October 23, 2012, as StoneCrest Center Mental Health Awareness Day. We urge all citizens of Michigan to promote better mental health care awareness by creating positive policies at work and school, engaging in discussions with family and friends, and making mental health care awareness a priority in their communities; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to StoneCrest Center with our highest esteem.
