The 31,600-square-foot facility will add 20 inpatient beds to the existing beds in the hospital’s Freeman Behavioral Health Unit and emergency center behavioral health pod. The renovation was made possible by a $3 million donation from the Players Championship Village and $5 million from the state.
The renovation will address the increased demand for pediatric inpatient behavioral healthcare, as the hospital had to place 50 patients in need of care on a waitlist during the pandemic, according to the report.
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.
