Greenville Gets a Boost in Mental Health Care with New Pavilion
Greenville, South Carolina, is gearing up for a big step forward in mental health services! On January 27, 2025, Prisma Health will unveil its brand-new Behavioral Health & Wellness Pavilion, a cutting-edge facility that promises to change the game for outpatient care in the Upstate region. With a whopping price tag of $3.7 million and a spacious 24,000 square feet of room, this pavilion is designed to triple the current patient access to behavioral health services. It’s truly exciting news for the community!
What to Expect at the Pavilion
Located right on the Greenville Memorial Hospital campus, the pavilion will introduce some outstanding programs focused on mental health and wellness. This includes transferring and enhancing therapy services from the former Brownell Center, which will now be known as the Grove Road Clinic. This revamp symbolizes a fresh, welcoming environment tailored for those in need of help.
The new facility will offer a total of five specialty day treatment programs, one of which is particularly groundbreaking: a first-in-its-class mother-infant wellness program. This program will focus specifically on women dealing with depression and anxiety both during and after pregnancy, addressing these crucial health issues with the compassion they deserve.
A Comprehensive Approach to Behavioral Health
But that’s not all! Starting in January 2025, adult programs aimed at tackling behavioral health and substance use disorders will be available. For the younger folks, adolescent programs will kick off in May 2025, featuring dedicated options for those facing eating disorders as well as general behavioral health concerns. This comprehensive plan aims to address a wide array of needs across different age groups.
A Response to Growing Mental Health Needs
Dr. Karen Lommel, a leader at Prisma Health, has expressed great enthusiasm about what this facility means for the community and its offerings. The day treatment programs will cater to individuals who need a higher level of care than traditional office visits provide but are not quite in need of hospitalization. This thoughtful consideration ensures that everyone receives the right level of care.
The new pavilion is part of a broader strategy to enhance mental health services in the region, represented by an impressive $143 million investment into these vital services. Equally crucial is the development of a new 112-licensed-bed behavioral health hospital, which is currently on the drawing board. All these initiatives reflect a strong commitment to supporting mental health and improving the overall well-being of the Upstate community.
Prisma Health’s Expanding Network
Prisma Health is a private nonprofit health organization that boasts over 32,000 team members, 19 hospitals, 3,131 licensed beds, and a sprawling network of 320 practice sites. With such a robust infrastructure, Prisma Health is well-equipped to address the complexities of mental health across various populations.
For those interested in finding out more about the new Pavilion, including how to access its innovative programs, information is readily available on its official website. This new addition to Greenville is sure to make a significant impact on the region’s healthcare landscape, and as the opening day looms closer, excitement continues to build!
Let’s all count down to the grand opening of the Behavioral Health & Wellness Pavilion in Greenville. It’s a momentous occasion that signifies hope, healing, and a brighter future for mental health care in South Carolina!
