(KPLC) - The damage from the hurricanes went far deeper than just downed trees and lost roofs, there was a mental impact as well, which makes the damage suffered by area mental health facilities even worse. Oceans Psychiatric Hospital suffered extensive damage to their 60-bed facility forcing them to downsize their second facility which only served adolescents. Hospital administrator Emily McDaniel explains that several days prior to Hurricane Laura, they evacuated 15 of their adult patients to a facility in Broussard, thinking it’d only be temporary.
