Governor Cuomo will review the request of nine Long Island senators to keep the Sagamore Children's Psychiatric Center open.
Sagamore Children’s Psychiatric Center is an in-patient
hospital for children ranging in ages from 9 to 17 and is currently the only state children's psychiatric center in Long Island. The center provides
housing, schooling and treatment for emotionally disturbed children. What is
unique about Sagamore is the encouragement of families to visit during treatment. Interaction through family oriented events and therapy sessions are a significant part of a patients treatment.
In their letter to Cuomo, the senators expressed the importance of Sagamore to the lives of the children. They also mentioned Cuomo’s decision to
maintain the existence of in-patient psychiatric centers in upstate New York and encouraged him to do the same for Sagamore.
Cuomo must make his decision by April 1,
the beginning of the fiscal year.
