Charleston, S.C.-based MUSC Health will open its new $100 million behavioral health center on Aug. 25 in Florence.

The Jean and Hugh K. Leatherman Behavioral Care Pavilion will serve as a regional behavioral health hub offering a mix of triage, crisis stabilization, telehealth, outpatient and inpatient services. MUSC Health and its partners hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony Aug. 11 to mark the milestone.  

The pavilion will feature a Rapid Access Center for walk-in triage and assessments, expanded telepsychiatry services, 20 crisis stabilization beds, dedicated outpatient clinics for adults and children, and a 63-bed inpatient psychiatric unit. The inpatient unit includes the transfer of 23 beds from McLeod Behavioral Health Center in Darlington.

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.
