MOOSIC, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Geisinger Behavioral Health Center Northeast held a ribbon cutting ceremony today to mark the completion of construction and celebrate the joint venture between Geisinger and Acadia Healthcare.<\/p>\n

\nThe 96-bed facility will provide care for adult, pediatric and adolescent patients who struggle with acute symptoms of behavioral health disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This array of acute behavioral health services provides a level of care unparalleled in northeastern Pennsylvania, especially for children and adolescents. The hospital will admit patients at the beginning of August.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe support from the local legislators and the community throughout this project has been so encouraging,\u201d said Kelly Ankenbrand, chief executive officer of Geisinger Behavioral Health Center Northeast. \u201cOur hospital and programs will focus on the health and healing of the whole patient and build on Geisinger\u2019s legacy of providing excellent behavioral healthcare to the community. We have an excellent staff and exceptional facility to serve all those who need our help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe new center, located at 60 Glenmaura Blvd., Moosic is the first of two hospitals to be constructed under the joint venture between Geisinger and Acadia. A second, 96-bed hospital \u2013Geisinger Behavioral Health Center Danville \u2013 is currently in development in Danville and is expected to open in 2025.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis hospital and partnership will bring increased access and the highest quality behavioral healthcare to patients across northeastern Pennsylvania,\u201d said Jaewon Ryu, M.D., J.D., president and chief executive officer of Geisinger. \u201cI want to thank the numerous people from Geisinger, Acadia, local government and the community for their commitment and passion in making our vision a reality today. Pennsylvanians for years to come will benefit from this joint effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThese two new centers will allow Geisinger to consolidate inpatient behavioral health programs from Geisinger Medical Center, Geisinger Bloomsburg Hospital and Geisinger Community Medical Center, providing additional capacity to expand medical care availability at those hospitals. Together, the new facilities are expected to create approximately 400 new jobs.<\/p>\n

\nThe new hospital will also serve as a teaching hospital, training students and residents from Geisinger\u2019s College of Health Sciences, many of whom will go on to practice in northeastern Pennsylvania and carry forth Geisinger\u2019s mission to improve the health and well-being of the region.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe opening of this hospital, alongside the second one in Danville in 2025, highlights this partnership\u2019s commitment to meeting the need for behavioral health and substance use treatment programs where the need is greatest,\u201d said Chris Hunter, chief executive officer of Acadia Healthcare. \u201cThese two state-of-the-art, patient-centered facilities will provide hope and healing for those in need. The increased bed availability and purposefully designed, freestanding behavioral health hospitals will enable specialized care for more patients in these communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
