The hospital, part of Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health, will transfer many of the unit’s resources to Trinity Health Ann Arbor, the report said. 

The unit had struggled with regulatory issues and staffing since before the start of the pandemic, Chelsea Hospital President Ben Miles told WEMU. He said the change will result in a more effective care model in the long term.

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.
