The new hospital represents an approximately $35 million
investment that addresses the growing need in southwest Michigan
for more accessible, high-quality behavioral health services. The
new facility will offer a full continuum of inpatient behavioral
health care for adult patients including comprehensive treatment
for those who struggle with acute symptoms of mental health
disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Acadia Healthcare is the nation’s largest stand-alone behavioral
healthcare company. It operates a network of 228 behavioral
healthcare facilities with approximately 10,000 beds in 40 states
and Puerto Rico. Acadia brings to the joint venture a commitment to
patient-and family-centered care, strong clinical outcomes, and a
proven track record of collaborating with health systems across the
country.
“We’ve chosen to develop our behavioral health hospital with
Acadia as our strategic partner because of their deep knowledge of
the industry and their expertise in developing and operating
inpatient behavioral health services,” said Bill Manns, President
and Chief Executive Officer of Bronson Healthcare. “And, we have
chosen Battle Creek as the location because of the talented
workforce we have here who can bring their skills to the new
facility and help us expand care to reach more patients and
families from across the region.”
As part of the agreement, Bronson Battle Creek Hospital will
transition inpatient behavioral health services from its Fieldstone
Center building to the new hospital when it opens in early
2023.
“Acadia is proud to be partnering with the region’s leading
health system to provide these life-saving services to individuals
and families in southwest Michigan,” said Debbie Osteen, Chief
Executive Officer of Acadia Healthcare. “We look forward to joining
forces with Bronson to create a facility that fosters hope and
healing and meets the increasing need for better access to acute
behavioral health services in these communities.”
Through the joint venture, Acadia and Bronson intend to develop
innovative care delivery models that better integrate services for
physical and mental health. Acadia, like Bronson, is committed to
being a strong community partner, collaborating with many
organizations, hospitals and first responders across the
region.
