University of California Los Angeles Health has received a $100 million gift from Steward and Lynda Resnick to expand behavioral healthcare services and support completion of its neuropsychiatric hospital and comprehensive mental health campus.
The hospital and outpatient clinic complex will be named the UCLA Resnick Mental Health Campus, according to a Feb. 26 UCLA news release.
The current Steward and Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatry Hospital at UCLA will relocate and expand to 119 beds — a 61% increase. The project also includes a 20-bed outpatient observation unit designed to diagnose and stabilize patients in acute behavioral health crises.
The hospital is expected to open this fall. The expansion to 119 beds and the outpatient observation unit are slated to be completed in 2027. Outpatient programs will move from Westwood to a medical office building across the street from the new hospital later this year.
The Resnicks have made philanthropic gifts to UCLA totaling nearly $200 million, including a 2005 gift to support the construction of the current neuropsychiatric hospital, according to the release.
