KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Ascension Borgess Hospital has resumed the use of its emergency behavioral health annex for mental health patients who are in crisis.
Cindy Evans is an emergency department behavioral health nurse and says the annex has been a wonderful resource when it is available.
The hospital had stopped using the annex for the patients late last year and officials say it was for making logistical improvements.
They say those were completed yesterday, but not before the Michigan Nurses Association filed a legal complaint and said staff and patients were less safe without it being used.
The annex opened in 2017.
