Behavioral health facility renovation designed for flexibility

Grand Rapids facility adds beds, renovates admissions area

The flex design allows the unit to split into two sides, creating immediate access for two patient populations — adolescents and young adults.

The expansion added 26 beds to Pine Rest’s young adult building and a new contact center that serves as the admissions department.
