VHC Health, Arlington County Announce Plans for New Rehabilitation, Behavioral Wellness Facility
VHC Health and Arlington County, located in Virginia, announced an agreement to expand mental health and rehabilitation services. The healthcare organization will purchase and transform 5.8 acres into a rehabilitation and behavioral health wellness facility.
In addition to greater inpatient rehab services capacity, the new facility will house expanded mental health services – a 24-bed adult unit, a 24-bed adolescent unit, a 24-bed recovery & wellness unit and five outpatient programs, including an Adult Intensive Outpatient Program, Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program, Recovery & Wellness Intensive Outpatient Program, Adult Partial Hospitalization Program and an Outpatient Behavioral Health Clinic.
VHC Health will also provide a 14-bed geriatric behavioral health unit on the hospital’s main campus to continue to serve patients in need of a higher level of medical care. Arlington County will retain the remaining land for future public uses compatible with the VHC Health environment.
The inpatient rehabilitation services will care for those with brain and spinal cord injuries, stroke, neurological and other conditions. As of current, VHC Health has 20 existing rehabilitation beds for patients at the main campus. The new facility plans to increase total beds from 20 to 40, providing more care to those needing to improve function and quality of life. Behavioral Wellness will include outpatient services and three individualized units: adult behavioral health, adolescent behavioral health and recovery and wellness.
VHC Health plans on breaking ground on its new facility in late 2023 or early 2024 and expects construction to be complete in late 2025.
