Kennedy delivered an historic speech on mental illness and retardation. He described sweeping new programs to replace ""the shabby treatment of the many millions of the mentally disabled in custodial institutions"" with treatment in community mental health centers. This movement, later referred to as ""deinstitutionalization,"" continues to impact mental health care. Though he never publicly acknowledged it, the program was a tribute to Kennedy's sister Rosemary, who was born mildly retarded and developed a schizophrenia-like illness.
