San Diego County officials unveiled plans Tuesday for a proposed $210 million behavioral health campus in the Midway neighborhood aimed at preventing patients from winding up in an emergency room or living on the street.

According to Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer's office, the proposed Behavioral Health Wellness Campus "will serve as the region's 'Care Before Crisis hub" and replace "fragmented, emergency-driven responses with a connected continuum of treatment that reduces ER overuse, prevents homelessness and improves public safety."

During a Tuesday news conference in front of the county psychiatric hospital and the old Rosecrans Health Services Complex on Rosecrans Street, Lawson-Remer said the campus "will be a place where people can find care, stability and dignity under one roof."
