24/7 mental health crisis center opening in Rochester next week
ROCHESTER, Minn. (FOX 47) — An urgent care, for mental health. The Southeast Regional Crisis Center (SERCC) is slated to open next week, aiming to provide around the clock care for people experiencing a mental health crisis.
“I think there is definitely a need and I hope the crisis center can fill that need,” SERCC executive director, Nicole Mucheck said.
The project has been in the works since 2018, when the Minnesota legislature approved $28 million in funding to build crisis centers across the state. SERCC is located at 2121 Campus Drive SE Rochester. While it’s stationed in the Med City, its services will stretch across 10 counties: Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca and Winona.
