ECU Health and Acadia Healthcare held a ceremony to celebrate the start of construction on a 144-bed behavioral health hospital in Greenville, North Carolina. ECU Health and Acadia Healthcare will own and operate the new hospital together.
Slated to open in Spring 2025, the hospital will be a center of excellence situated less than a mile from ECU Health Medical Center. It will offer comprehensive inpatient and intensive outpatient treatment for adults, seniors, children and adolescents who struggle with acute symptoms of mental health. Thomas Construction Group is the general contractor and Stengel Hill Architecture is the architect for the project.
The new hospital will also serve as a teaching hospital for psychiatry, social work, nursing and other behavioral health professionals.
The hospital will include 24 inpatient beds specifically for children and adolescents with behavioral health needs. These beds will be the first of their kind in ECU Health’s 29-county service area and the only child and adolescent beds within 75 miles of Greenville, North Carolina.
