Brentwood, Tenn.-based Lifepoint Health has acquired Tucson, Ariz.-based Cornerstone Behavioral Health El Dorado.
Lifepoint plans to add roughly 50 additional beds to the 54-bed facility, according to a Jan. 23 news release from Lifepoint.
"There is a behavioral health crisis in our country today, and too few people have access to the care and services they need," Russ Bailey, president of Lifepoint Behavioral Health, said in the release. "Together, we have opportunities not only to further strengthen the care that Cornerstone Behavioral Health El Dorado provides its communities, but also to expand behavioral healthcare access to these vital services across our nation."
Lifepoint Behavioral Health has over 30 partnered facilities in the U.S., including three inpatient hospitals.
