With a daily average of 28 out of 32 beds occupied, West Springs Hospital operated at effectively full capacity every day of FY2018. Distressingly, every day this space limitation caused an average of 10 people to needlessly suffer until space for them became available.
A solution to the suffering – a new West Springs Hospital. One that:
Meets the growing local demand for psychiatric hospitalization
with Private Rooms, with Private Baths,
a dedicated Child & Adolescent Unit,
space for outdoor and indoor Recreation, or Meditation,
and everything needed to create and maintain a Comfortable, Safe, Healing environment conducive to rapid Stabilization and Recovery.
After a careful, collaborative and comprehensive design process that combined patient, staff and industry expertise, ground was broken for this new sanctuary in September 2017 and over the course of the next months up to 150 construction workers a day labored on-site to create the new 63,000 square foot world-class psychiatric hospital.
Construction lasted throughout FY2018 and the new West Springs Hospital started admitting patients December 2018.
