Slated to open in the Spring 2025, the hospital will be a center
of excellence situated ideally to serve as a natural extension of
the Orlando Health system. The state-of-the-art hospital will offer
comprehensive inpatient and intensive outpatient treatment for
adults, seniors, children and adolescents who struggle with acute
symptoms of mental health such as anxiety, depression, bipolar
disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as
treatment for co-occurring disorders. Berglund Construction is the
general contractor and Stengel Hill Architecture is the architect
for the project.
“We are very pleased to expand the inpatient and intensive
outpatient capacity for behavioral healthcare and broaden these
essential programs,” said David Strong, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Orlando Health.
“This hospital will expand Orlando Health’s existing
capabilities and provide greater access to life-saving behavioral
health services,” Chris Hunter, Chief Executive Officer of Acadia
Healthcare. “We are so proud to be affiliated with Orlando Health,
and we look forward to the opportunity to work together to address
a vital and growing need in central Florida. This hospital will
extend Orlando Health’s legacy of providing quality behavioral
health services to their patients.”
Once the new hospital is fully operational, Orlando Health will
transfer all inpatient behavioral health services from its South
Seminole Hospital Campus. Acadia, like Orlando Health, is proud to
serve as a strong community partner and will collaborate with many
organizations, hospitals and first responders in the region it
serves.
