| − | |2=The new [[Oregon State Hospital]] is getting ready for its first wave of patients, who will all have private bedrooms and access to “treatment malls.” Nearly 100 patients are scheduled to leave cramped and dreary wards in the existing 127-year-old hospital in Salem in January and move to the new facility, called “Harbors.” | + | |2=The 128-year-old former mental health institute in the small southwest Iowa city of Clarinda isn’t your typical real estate opportunity, and so far no one is rushing to move in.
