ARKANSAS STATE HOSPITAL Arkansas is recognized as a leader in the field of mental health. This is due pri- marily to the active building and training progams of its State Hospital. Through ap- propriate legislation and federal grants, the hospital system has accelerated its training programs for psychiatrists, nurses, and psy- chiatric technicians. The maximum load of the Little Rock State Hospital is 800 patients with an active follow-up program of 200 outpatients through- out the state. The Community Mental Health Program was begun in July, 1967 and now has extended to include 40 Arkansas counties. There are now four comprehensive mental health centers and seven community units.
