BBHH is a state-of-the-art, 96-bed hospital that will offer a
full continuum of inpatient behavioral healthcare services and
intensive outpatient programs for adult patients, including
comprehensive treatment for those who struggle with acute symptoms
of mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar
disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as
treatment for developmental disabilities.
Inpatient behavioral health services and staff from Bronson
Battle Creek’s Fieldstone Center will transition to the new
hospital after BBHH completes the regulatory certifications
required to open. BBHH will officially begin accepting inpatient
admissions once these certifications are obtained.
“The support from the local community throughout this project
has been so encouraging,” said Deb Rozewicz, Chief Executive
Officer of Bronson Behavioral Health Hospital. “This partnership
and hospital symbolize the importance of bringing behavioral health
services to those in need. Our hospital and programs will focus on
the health and healing of the whole patient and, hopefully, will
help reduce the stigma that often prevents people from seeking
care.”
As a provider of acute behavioral health services, BBHH 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.
“This new hospital addresses a critical need for access to
behavioral health services that ripples across our region and
state,” said Bill Manns, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Bronson Healthcare. “Bronson and Acadia Healthcare are proud to be
part of the solution. A big thank you to the Bronson Board of
Directors for their unwavering support of this work, and to our
community health partners who are on the forefront of mental health
care each and every day. Together, we can and will make a
difference.”
“We are delighted to work with Bronson Healthcare to provide
quality behavioral health services to Battle Creek and the
surrounding region,” said Chris Hunter, Chief Executive Officer of
Acadia Healthcare. “We are also grateful to our Bronson partners
and our elected officials for supporting this new hospital and
recognizing the need for increased access to behavioral healthcare
for the patients and families of southwest Michigan.”
