Construction continues at 100 Kendall Drive in Lamar, future site of the new headquarters for Southeast Mental Health Services.

The framework on the 4,300 square foot building is being erected, and recently trusses were lifted and secured in place. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on the one acre site this past October, and plans then called for the new facility to be completed by mid April.

Southeast Mental Health was located at Prowers Medical Center as far back as 1965, moved to the County Annex for several years and for the past 16 years, has been at its present site at 3500 First Street South.
