Maple Heights Behavioral Health will offer inpatient mental
healthcare for adults and seniors for a range of behavioral health
concerns, including anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress
disorder, with plans to add inpatient adolescent and intensive
outpatient treatment programs in the future.
Lutheran Health Network and Acadia Healthcare announced the
joint venture to build the 120-bed hospital and began construction
in 2021. Maple Heights will complete regulatory certifications
required for new hospitals over the next month and then officially
begin accepting inpatient admissions.
“The welcome from the local community has been very
encouraging,” said Jennifer Snyder, CEO of Maple Heights Behavioral
Health. “This symbolizes the willingness to bring behavioral health
services to those in need, regardless of the stigma that often
limits a desire to seek care.”
As a provider of acute behavioral health services, Maple Heights
Behavioral Health will assess incoming patients immediately and
stabilize any emergency situations. Over the course of treatment,
patients will receive restorative therapies and healing care. Once
stabilized, patients will be matched with long-term services needed
to help them to achieve and maintain their mental health needs.
“Lutheran Health Network has a proud history of growing to meet
the health care needs of our community,” said Clyde Wood, Lutheran
Hospital CEO and Maple Heights Behavioral Health board member.
“After a community needs assessment made it clear the local demand
for mental health care was not being met, we were glad to
collaborate with Acadia Healthcare on a new behavioral health
hospital. Today is a proud day for our two organizations and the
community as a whole.”
In addition to psychiatric care, patients will have access to
restorative therapies such as group fitness programming in the
hospital’s gymnasium, which includes a basketball court. Other
activities will include yoga, music and art therapies.
“We are delighted to work with Lutheran Health Network to
provide quality behavioral healthcare to the Fort Wayne community,”
said Chris Hunter, CEO of Acadia Healthcare. “We are also grateful
to our elected officials for supporting this new hospital and being
advocates for increasing access to behavioral healthcare for the
patients and families of northeastern Indiana.”
