A coalition of major Texas health care stake partners broke ground on a 296-bed psychiatric hospital in Dallas, reports Behavioral Health Business.
The partners are The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Children’s Health, a multi-site children’s hospital system in Texas.
The State of Texas appropriated $282.5 million to fund the construction and design of the hospital. Children’s Health donated $200 million to support a 96-bed pediatric wing. That pediatric wing will be staffed by UT Southwestern pediatricians.
The facility will operate as The Texas Behavioral Health Center at UT Southwestern.
The adult treatment areas are slated to be complete by late 2025; the pediatric addition will be open by early 2026
