Signature Healthcare announced it will proceed with a request for $150 million in state Prop. 1 funds to build a regional behavioral facility in Shasta.
The decision comes despite opposition from Shasta officials, including Shasta Mental Health Director Christy Coleman, who cited concerns about county costs and the number of needed beds without providing data or evidence.
Coleman’s opposition to the project included vague claims about possible county costs and the number of needed beds, which she did not back with data or evidence.
A proposal for the "True North" facility will be submitted, according to a press release from Signature Healthcare Services and Arch Collaborative.
