Tennessee officials are nearing a decision regarding a new location for the Moccasin Bend Mental Health Institute. The current facility, which opened in 1961, serves 52 counties in East Tennessee and houses 150 adult psychiatric beds. The state is considering replacing and expanding the hospital on its existing property, which would involve a 255,000-square-foot facility with 200 beds.
