INTEGRIS Miami Hospital will close its senior adult mental health unit, known as Generations, at the end of May. Over the past couple of years, the hospital says Generations has averaged only seven patients per day. Officials say that is not a high enough volume to continue to dedicate the amount of space and staffing required to keep the unit operational. 

Patients needing the specialized care will be served by inpatient facilities in Joplin and Vinita or by telehealth services offered at area nursing homes.
