Mendota Mental Health Institute

Accredited by The Joint Commission, Mendota Mental Health Institute (MMHI) primarily serves men in need of court-ordered mental health competency evaluations, treatment to competency services, and treatment as the result of being found not guilty of criminal activity by reason of mental illness. A geropsychiatric treatment unit assesses and treats elderly men and women who suffer from emotional and neurological conditions that affect behavior. MMHI is one of two psychiatric hospitals operated by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

The Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center provides mental health services to teen boys referred from the Department of Corrections.

The methods for community treatment developed by MMHI's Program of Assertive Community Treatment have been adopted throughout the world.
