Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Md., has received a $1 million grant for its School of Health Professions, which will house a pediatric behavioral health center.
The $8.2 million facility renovation project is expected to open in October and will also house a physician assistant program and a center for clinician well-being. The most recent funding comes from the Seed Community Development Anchor Institution Fund.
The pediatric behavioral health center within the school will offer a therapeutic environment for children with behavioral health needs, in addition to offering training for parents, teachers and other professionals, according to a Jan. 11 news release.
