Krieger, assistant director of the Children's Clinic in Kalamazoo, to draw attention to mental illness prevention and treatment during Mental Hygiene Week. Dr. Mortar describes the facilities at the Kalamazoo State Hospital and laments the fact that the facility is only able to house 800 patients in modern, fire-proof buildings while the rest are housed in older substandard buildings. Mortar calls on the state legislature to help relieve the overcrowding that has led to a waiting list of nearly 1000 people across Michigan. Dr. Krieger describes the purpose of the hospital's Children's Clinic and tells Dunbar that their mission is to serve the surrounding counties, but that they barely meet the needs of Kalamazoo County.
