The pandemic has highlighted the need for Lakeland Regional to expand mental health services, according to Alice Nuttall, LRH s associate vice president for mental health services.
Nuttall said it was estimated that one in five, or 20%, of adults could have benefited from some form of behavioral health services prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. More recent studies say it s become one in three since the pandemic, she said.
The new behavioral health center, designed by Orlando-based HuntonBrady Architects, incorporates the healing properties of natural light and the environment. It will consist of three freestanding, single-story buildings with landscaped courtyards between the buildings.
Behavioral health center will be first in Polk County to offer partial hospitalization
