INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- US HealthVest
announced the development of Indianapolis Behavioral Hospital, a
new stand-alone behavioral hospital that will provide a full
continuum of specialized inpatient and outpatient mental health
care to patients of all ages. The new hospital will be located on
the campus of Hendricks Regional Health in Plainfield, Indiana.
"We are excited to work in collaboration with Hendricks Regional
Health to bring these vital services to the community," said
Richard Kresch, M.D., President and
CEO of US HealthVest. "Indianapolis Behavioral Hospital will
treat the increasing and unmet need for specialized mental health
services in the growing Indianapolis area."
The facility will provide behavioral health and addiction
treatment services to all patients, regardless of ability to pay.
Comprehensive services will include free 24/7 assessments,
inpatient care and intensive outpatient services. A full range of
specialized programs will be offered, such as a Women's Program, a
Youth Program, a Co-Occurring Disorders Program, a Geriatric
Program and a Psychiatric Intensive Care Program.
"The shortage of mental health services in our community and
across the state and nation is at an unprecedented level," said
Hendricks Regional Health President & CEO Kevin Speer. "In Hendricks County alone, mental
health and substance abuse were tied as the number two overall
health concerns in the most recent Community Health Assessment.
This collaboration with US HealthVest helps us bridge the gap for
the children, adults and families who need these critical
services."
The project also brings a positive economic impact for
Hendricks and surrounding
counties. US HealthVest will invest $25
million to construct the 77,000 square-foot facility. The
two-story hospital will have open spaces with views of nature,
fostering a safe and nurturing environment. Shared amenities will
include activity rooms, therapy spaces and a dining area, along
with indoor and outdoor recreational spaces. Indianapolis
Behavioral Hospital, expected to open in early 2020, will create
over 250 new high-quality jobs with full benefits, as well as bring
new state and federal funds to the area.
