Kentucky Children's Hospital in Lexington has opened a behavioral health unit, according to a June 20 report from CBS affiliate WKYT.
The new unit includes a 17-bed inpatient space that treats patients ages 5 to 11 in one wing and 12 to 17 in the other. The unit also features an outdoor space, a day room for social interaction and additional spaces for activities such as arts and crafts.
The development of this unit began in 2018 as an expansion of the former 10-bed inpatient unit at Good Samaritan Hospital, the report said. The new unit at Kentucky Children's is set to begin taking patients on June 25.
