Which Baker Act receiving facility is designated for Veterans Only?

• A. South County Mental Health Center
• B. Neuro Behavioral Health @ St. Mary's Hospital
• C. VA Hospital - For Veterans Only
• D. Delray Medical Center

Answer: (C)

In Florida, Baker Act receiving facilities are designated to evaluate and hold individuals involuntarily for mental health treatment. Some facilities are set aside for specific populations to ensure tailored care and coordination with related services. A hospital designated for veterans only is created to connect veterans with VA resources and veteran-specific care, making it the appropriate choice for a Baker Act placement when the person is a veteran. The other facilities listed operate as general receiving centers for the broader public and are not restricted to veterans. So the VA Hospital - For Veterans Only is the facility designated for veterans.
