BELOIT – Pawnee Mental Health recently opened a new office in Beloit at 2020 N. Independence Ave. to serve their therapy and recovery clients. Community services such as adult and youth rehabilitation will remain at 207-5 N. Mill Street. The Pawnee Mental Health Foundation purchased the building at the new location from USD 273 in July, 2021. Following some light remodel work, which included adding a restroom, installation of new flooring at the entrances, painting the interior of the building, and delivery of new office, lobby and conference room furnishings, the office opened on Dec. 6, 2021. This allows more space for community services on N. Mill Street and expands resources that Pawnee can provide to Mitchell County.
