“Building all new hospitals will take some time. So we have worked hard to become more efficient with our resources and because of this, we’ve been able to begin to reshape how we deliver services today.”

Tim Bray with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission explains the features of a patient room in the new veterans unit at Terrell State Hospital.
From KERA:
At the Terrell State Hospital, about 30 miles east of Dallas, there are now 20 more inpatient beds for veterans in need of psychiatric care.
Tim Bray, associate commissioner of state hospitals with Texas’ Health and Human Services Commission, opens the door to one of the rooms in the new unit. It looks sort of like a college dorm, with sparse furniture, bookshelves and three single beds.
