Holyoke Medical Center has partnered with Signet Health Corporation, assisting the hospital in the delivery of behavioral health services by offering quality management and consulting services.

The facility will be designed and built by full-service healthcare real estate development and solutions company Leo Brown Group.

It is expected to take 18 months to complete and become operational, after securing approval from state and local officials.

The proposed project is completely aligned with the mission of Holyoke Medical Center.
