State Hospitals in Pennsylvania
Torrance State Hospital is one of six State Hospitals in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The facility, operated by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS), provides inpatient treatment for people with severe and persistent mental illness. It and Norristown State Hospital (formerly known as "The State Lunatic Asylum at Norristown") are the only two hospitals in Pennsylvania that care for mentally ill patients who have committed major crimes. Torrance generally admits patients after hospitalization at a community health care facility. If the treating physician determines that the patient requires longer term involuntary psychiatric treatment, the appropriate state agency initiates a referral to Torrance.[1][2][3]
