Upon completion, Orlando Health plans to relocate all inpatient behavioural health services from its South Seminole Hospital Campus to the new facility.

Acadia Healthcare CEO Chris Hunter said: “This hospital will expand Orlando Health’s existing capabilities and provide greater access to life-saving behavioural health services.

“We are so proud to be affiliated with Orlando Health, and we look forward to the opportunity to work together to address a vital and growing need in central Florida. This hospital will extend Orlando Health’s legacy of providing quality behavioral health services to their patients.”
