There's been a lot in the local news lately about mental health care and health care reform on a local and state level.  I couldn't help but address two of these articles in a few blog posts.  One of the articles was a report on how a local hospital is closing its mental health facility; another was about a push for value-added health care reform in Ohio. Check out my blog posts, complete with links to the articles, here:  http://bipolarknitter.com.   Read more >
