History

Established in 1890 and opened in 1893 as the Southern California State Asylum for the Insane and Inebriates, it was renamed Patton State Hospital after Harry Patton, a member of the first Board of Managers, in 1927. [5] The hospital's original structure was built in accordance with the Kirkbride Plan. [6] The original buildings were demolished after they were badly damaged in the earthquake of 1923. [7]

Accreditation

The hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission (TJC). [8]

Burials

From its opening until 1934, some 2,024 patients died and were buried on the hospital grounds. [9] A memorial for them was erected and in 2011–2012 efforts were under way to identify all the deceased. [10] [11]
