WellStone Plans To Establish First 24 Hour Mental Health Clinic In Alabama

WellStone Behavioral Health Center, a behavioral health provider in Huntsville, Alabama, is pushing to create the first 24/7 mental health clinic in Alabama. WellStone will need state funding to make the plan a reality, which will potentially come at the end of the May legislative session.
