Update On the Austin State Hospital and Its New Building & Programs

Dr. Thompson and Dr. Evans will update the group on the journey the organization has taken in the long process of coordinating the construction of a new physical plant to provide treatment to its patients, how the building and partnerships in the community work synergistically to provide a state of the art treatment experience, and how ASH continues to benefit the community it serves. We will leave time for the Lions Club to briefly describe our organization and what the service mission of the club is all about. We will leave plenty of time for Lions to ask questions of both Dr. Thompson and Dr. Evans and for the two of them to ask questions of the Lions Club.
