About California Department of State Hospitals

The Department of State Hospitals (DSH) manages the California state hospital system, which provides mental health services to patients admitted into DSH facilities. The department strives to provide effective treatment in a safe environment and in a fiscally responsible manner. DSH oversees five state hospitals – Atascadero, Coalinga, Metropolitan (in Los Angeles County), Napa and Patton. All facilities are fully licensed by the California Department of Public Health, and must regularly meet or exceed regulatory standards to continue providing care. DSH was created by Governor Jerry Brown's 2012-13 Budget, which eliminated the Department of Mental Health by transferring its various functions to other departments. As of 2018, the department employs more than 11,000 staff and serves more than 12,000 patients annually in a 24/7 hospital system.. Our mission is to provide evaluation and treatment in a safe and responsible manner, by leading innovation and excellence across a continuum of care and settings.
