  This tag is misleading. FRDC is Fulton Reception and Diagnostic Center, this is where the average criminal would be sent initially before being sent to another prison in the area. Fulton State Hospital is NOT just for the criminally insane. Fulton State Hospital can claim the distinction of being the oldest public mental health facility west of the Mississippi River, having admitted its first patient in 1851. The treatment and care of persons with mental illnesses has changed greatly during the last century and a half. Throughout the years, the hospital's philosophy has remained constant -- to provide quality care to Missourians in a manner that respects the dignity of the individual with a goal of returning the individual to a full and active role in the community.
