California Department Of State Hospitals

The California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) oversees the state's public mental health hospital system, providing inpatient mental health services to individuals with severe mental illnesses. They operate five state hospitals and two psychiatric programs located in state prisons. DSH generates revenue through state funding and reimbursements from counties and other governmental entities. Established in 1853, the department has evolved to address the changing needs of mental health care, including implementing modern treatment approaches and policies to improve patient outcomes.
