The funding will be used to develop a 20-bed inpatient pediatric behavioral health unit at Wolfson Children’s Hospital. The project will cost a total of $8.9 million, the report said.
The new unit seeks to address the increasing demand for pediatric mental health care in the region, with there currently only being 65 pediatric inpatient behavioral health beds between Daytona Beach and Fernandina Beach.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
