OSF HealthCare and US HealthVest have signed a letter of intent to form a joint venture to build a behavioral health facility in Peoria, Illinois. Together they will develop and construct what will be the largest behavioral hospital focused on adults south of Chicago.
The planned 100-bed hospital will be located on a tract of land that is owned by OSF HealthCare near other OSF buildings and services.
The new hospital will expand access to urgently needed mental health care for residents throughout central Illinois. A full continuum of behavioral health services will be offered, regardless of ability to pay, including comprehensive treatment for those who struggle with acute symptoms of mental health. The hospital will be open 24/7 with a crisis center offering free assessments and specialized programs with evidence-based care. In addition, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs will be provided. Read more.
