Northwell Launches $500M Initiative to Expand Pediatric Mental Health Services

Northwell Health said it will invest $350 million over the next five years and launch a $150 million fundraising campaign to expand pediatric behavioral health services across its footprint, including creating a new model of care and building a preeminent center of mental health excellence that will bridge the gap between physical and mental health services for children.

The future Child and Adolescent Mental Health Pavilion will be connected to Cohen Children’s Medical Center and Zucker Hillside Hospital, Northwell’s adult mental health facility in Queens, NY.

The approximately 200,000-square-foot building will integrate physical and mental health care for children and serve as a destination program for patients across the country. The new pavilion will include more than 100 inpatient beds designed for children and adolescents, and will also be home to specialty ambulatory clinics treating a variety of disorders. The initiative will bring together Northwell’s expertise in children’s clinical care, mental health, research, education and medical training. Read more.
