Abstract:
The General Assembly consolidated several capacities of the Department of Public Health and Welfare in 1963 to form the Department of Mental Health. Under the leadership of Dr. Eugene Hargrove, three divisions run by a Deputy Commissioner were created; the Division of Mental Retardation, the Division of Mental hospitals, and the Division of Community Mental Health Services. Through these divisions specific programs focused on research, alcohol rehabilitation, and mentally disabled children.
