The hospital was planned to primarily care for elderly patients and develop a major research program. By 1960 the hospital began accepting patients of all ages and a focus on alcoholism treatment. The hospital used all types of treatment during it's history including ECT and insulin shock therapy. Patient population peak reached 3,000 by the late 1950s. The hospital was closed in 1985 and research programs moved to Chicago. The remaining 300+ patients were moved to other state hospitals. Today many of the buildings remain, owned by private businesses under the name of Hawthorne Center. | The hospital was planned to primarily care for elderly patients and develop a major research program.
