Staff Report

Bringing a mental health hospital to Hays County remains a goal of County Judge Ruben Becerra who has been meeting with experts in the mental health field.

According to a Nov. 20 news release, such a facility has “long been a priority” for Becerra, but his focus was shifted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In a press release the county said that such a facility would “support our health care system, our criminal justice system, economic development and ultimately, all residents of Hays County.”
