Tampa General Hospital and Kindred Behavioral Health have entered a joint venture partnership to build and operate the new Tampa General Behavioral Health Hospital.
The behavioral health hospital will be located adjacent to the TGH Rehabilitation Hospital, an 80-bed inpatient rehabilitation facility being constructed in partnership with Kindred Rehabilitation Services.
The Tampa General Behavioral Health Hospital will cost $43 million to build. The four-story, 83,000-square-foot facility will include 96 inpatient beds with the potential to expand to 120 beds.
Tampa General Hospital will provide team member health services, medical support services, staffing, medical staff physician credentialing, a laboratory and security. Kindred Behavioral Health will manage the daily operations of the new hospital. The physicians with the department of psychiatry in the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine will provide care to an expansive patient population. The hospital is expected to break ground in late 2022 or early 2023 and officially open in late 2024.
In addition, the hospital will serve as the first point of evaluation and care, providing initial emergent evaluations for individuals in the community going through a behavioral health crisis. Patients experiencing mental health emergencies will receive emergent evaluation and intensive stabilization with an immediate assessment to determine the safest treatment plan beyond the initial crisis.
