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.
