Lest there be some confusion, the Shattuck is a city-run hospital and not open to the general public -- it has no emergency room so please don't dash there after an accident or injury. The primary mission of the Shattuck is to attend to those within the mental health, substance abuse and correctional systems. And it does so quite well.
