Acadia is committed to patient- and family-centered care,
clinical outcomes, and it has a proven track record of
collaborating with similar health systems across the country. “We
believe that access to high-quality mental health care is important
to our community, and we are partnering with Acadia to expand that
access significantly in the coming years,” said Lydia Jumonville,
President and Chief Executive Officer of SCL Health.
During the first phase of the partnership, SCL Health West Pines
will continue to deliver high-quality behavioral health services as
it has for three decades at its current location. A transitional
management agreement allows both organizations to work closely
together to ensure a smooth transition and maintain a strong
philosophy of care.
“Acadia is proud to be partnering with a premier health system
like SCL Health,” said Debbie Osteen, Chief Executive Officer of
Acadia Healthcare. “As part of the ongoing phases of this
partnership, we look forward to creating a new patient-centered
facility that will provide healing for those in need.”
The joint venture between SCL Health and Acadia Healthcare plans
to build a new and expanded behavioral health hospital in the same
region with an anticipated opening date in the middle of 2023. When
the new facility is operational, the next phase of the partnership
will begin.
“This partnership solidifies our commitment to meeting the
growing demand for safe, accessible, compassionate, affordable, and
high-quality behavioral health services in the communities we
serve,” said Grant Wicklund, Lutheran Medical Center President.
