North Carolina’s psychiatric hospitals struggle with severe staffing shortages and funding delays, threatening mental health care access.
North Carolina’s three state psychiatric hospitals face ongoing staffing shortages and funding uncertainty in 2026, with vacancy rates at or above 20% and over 1,000 positions unfilled.
The state’s unpassed budget has frozen hiring and prevented raises or incentives, hampering recruitment amid competition from private providers.
Despite efforts like job fairs and bonuses, staff shortages persist, leading to unused beds, delayed care, and a 65% rise in incidents over the past decade.
Without immediate action, mental health care access for vulnerable residents remains at risk.
