Abstract
The lack of a comprehensive continuum of care for mentally ill individuals—which should include hospitals for seriously mentally ill people—represents an injustice. Dr. Sisti will offer recommendations to increase bed capacity and to advance “conceptual parity”—where mental and physical health are indistinguishable as health care services and priorities.
