The unit will include 40 inpatient beds in a remodeled space and will be the hospital’s first new behavioral health unit since 2009, the report said. The rooms include a variety of features “with a sometimes challenging patient population in mind,”, including doors that can be removed from their hinges if a patient barricades themselves inside, according to the report.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place October 20–22 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
