History

The exterior of Tarasius General Hospital

Named after St. Tarasius of Constantinople, Tarasius General was one of the many psychiatric hospitals throughout Malton. Seeking to better the afflicted via eclectic treatments, such as shock therapy. In addition, the hospital combined many experimental therapies with religious instruction to provide hospice to the numerous patients within its wards. With poor results, staff began aiming for palliative care rather than actual recovery. Results were both scorned for the lack of focus on treatment and praised for the ease of the patients throughout the remainder of their care in Tarasius' wards. Due to Tarasius' regimen for its patients, funding for the institution began to dry up, and fewer individuals were committed to the institution, eventually causing the hospital to close. An inquiry into the hospital revealed long-outdated methods still being used on patients, including unregulated electroshock therapy, powerful hallucinogenics, and frontal lobotomies. Because of this, just prior to the outbreak, Tarasius was put on the chopping block. Scheduled to be condemned within the year, many individuals in the community looked to the future to forever rid Spicer Hills from this black mark in this suburbs history. Due to the haunted legacy it had, along with the state of disrepair the building had fallen into, utilities were disabled, and the area was cordoned off.

One of the patient's quartering wings, made clear to accompany many survivors.

However, in the wake of the Malton Incident, the facility's demolition has been indefinitely postponed. The doors were reopened by desperate survivors, using it as a make-shift hideout and aid station. Despite the lack of utilities, numerous drugs and medical supplies can be found in Tarasius to this day, where, despite unsanitary conditions, survivors still use to treat the various infected and injured survivors.
