Mental Health & AODA
Wisconsin’s hospitals and emergency departments are often the safety net for patients suffering a psychiatric crisis, and they are on the front lines of alcohol and other drug abuse (AODA) issues. WHA works with lawmakers to ensure patients receive the best, most appropriate care by addressing policies in a coordinated, multi-faceted fashion.
