OGDENSBURG -- State Senator Patty Ritchie toured the Trinity building at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center recently to discuss the state’s mental health services to northern New York communities.

Over the course of the morning, she met with the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center's Board of Visitors, spoke to top staff and administrators, visited wards, program areas and recreational facilities.

“The St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center is well regarded as one of New York State’s premier psychiatric hospitals because of the outstanding quality of the staff who work there,” Ritchie said.

“Our region is lucky to have such dedicated professionals caring for our friends and neighbors when they need treatment and assistance.”
