Oakland, Calif.-based Alameda Health System was granted more than $77 million to expand behavioral health services at two hospitals.
Grant funds will be used to build a 10-bed inpatient medical detox and psychiatric care unit at San Leandro Hospital and two 20-bed units dedicated to geriatric psychiatric patients at Hayward-based St. Rose Hospital, according to a May 16 system news release.
The funds are part of $3.3 billion awarded through the California Department of Health Care Services’ Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program. Alameda is one of 124 sponsor organizations to receive an award in support of behavioral health infrastructure through the state bond.
