Slated to open in the first half of 2022, the facility is a
joint venture between Acadia Healthcare, the nation’s largest
provider of behavioral health services, and Lutheran Health Network
of Indiana, LLC, an affiliate of the Lutheran Health Network. The
facility will address the growing need for accessible, high-quality
behavioral health services in Fort Wayne and the surrounding
counties.
The groundbreaking was honored by the presence of Fort Wayne
Mayor Tom Henry; Allen County Commissioner Therese Brown; Allen
County Commissioner Nelson Peters; and State Representative Denny
Zent.
Attendees saw the site of the new hospital and an architectural
rendering of the facility, which will provide treatment to adults,
seniors, and adolescents who struggle with acute symptoms of mental
health disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Event speakers discussed its
anticipated impact on the community’s need for additional mental
health services. The facility represents an approximately $45
million investment in the community and will offer the full
continuum of inpatient and outpatient care.
“The scarcity of mental health resources is a national problem
that we also face in northeast Indiana,” said Mark Medley, Regional
President and CEO of Lutheran Health Network. “We have placed Maple
Heights in an accessible location, and it will provide services and
care to those in need of hope and healing.”

Heights Behavioral Health, an affiliate of Lutheran Health Network,
to this community,” said Dr. Jeffrey Woods, Operations Group
President for Acadia Healthcare. “We are so proud to become an
affiliate of Lutheran Health Network and to work together to
address a rising need in this area. Maple Heights will become a
strong member of the community, collaborating with all
organizations, hospitals and first responders.”
