A ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrated the opening of the 144-bed ECU Health Behavioral Health Hospital in Greenville, North Carolina. Located less than a mile from ECU Health Medical Center, the new hospital represents a major investment in behavioral health infrastructure for the region.
The hospital will offer comprehensive inpatient and intensive outpatient programs for adults, seniors, children and adolescents facing acute mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and co-occurring substance use disorders. The hospital was built through a joint venture partnership between ECU Health and Acadia Healthcare.
The hospital will also serve as a training site for students and residents through partnerships with ECU’s Brody School of Medicine. This academic integration will help address the shortage of behavioral health professionals in the region. Thomas Construction Group led the construction of the hospital with architectural design by Stengel Hill Architecture.
