Oasa Health has purchased 10 acres in Fort Worth, Texas, with intent to build a Center of Behavioral Health Excellence to support the community’s need for additional behavioral health beds.
With construction slated to begin in the fall of 2023, plans call for a 96-bed, 79,700-square-foot behavioral health hospital. The facility will include four 24-bed units; two for adult services, one for geriatric services and one for adolescent services. It will provide a full continuum of inpatient and outpatient services for patients experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and other behavioral health-related concerns.
Located in proximity to both Medical City Alliance Hospital and Texas Health Alliance Hospital, this new facility will complement the existing programming offered by providing a specialty service to the surrounding communities.
In addition to the economic benefit of the construction, the new hospital also will provide more than 150 new jobs to the community, which will include physicians, nurses, social workers, mental health technicians, administrative and facility support staff. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2024.
