The first state-run psychiatric hospital will open next summer under the direction of UT Southwestern Medical Center in the heart of Dallas' Medical District. It will include an adult and pediatric wing with 292 beds. Two hundred beds will be for adults, and 92 will be for kids. Construction is underway for the 505,000 square-foot Texas Behavioral Health Center at the corner of Medical District Drive and Harry Hines Boulevard. It's in partnership with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
Main Idea: UT Southwestern Medical Center will run North Texas’ first state-run psychiatric hospital, which is set to open next summer in Dallas.
Key Points:
Taxpayers will help fund a large new state hospital, and the project may take time before relief is felt.
UT Southwestern’s new psychiatric hospital could add beds and care for adults and children, easing pressure on hospitals, jails, and families.
