The facility completed a $10 million, 21,000-square-foot expansion and renovation project to turn offices into eight patient rooms for behavioral health. However, it has been trying to recruit providers since the spring without success.

When the service line first opened in 2020, there were three full-time behavioral health therapists providing services. By April 2024, the facility was down to one therapist.

The center is working to lease some of the space to behavioral analysis organizations that provide services to children on the Autism spectrum.
