Builders will break ground on the 144-bed, 97,000-square-foot hospital in early 2024, the report said. It is set to open in the second half of 2025 and will nearly triple the inpatient behavioral care capacity in the region.

The hospital is expected to create more than 300 full-time jobs, the report said. Financial terms of the joint venture were not disclosed.

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.
