Planning and Consensus Team

Virginia Code requires DBHDS to establish a planning team when any restructuring involves an existing state hospital.

This planning and consensus team:

  • Ensures comprehensive input.​
  • Requires community education, implementation of community services, staffing transition strategies, and discharge plans.  ​
  • Ensures consideration for sustainability, funding, and resolution of concerns related to the closure of the hospital.   ​
  • Requires plans to be provided to the Governor and the JCHC to review and make recommendations.​
  • Plan requires final approval from the Governor and General Assembly.
