The 96-bed, free-standing facility will be built and operated with Lifepoint Behavioral Health.
PeaceHealth announced its plan to build and operate a new inpatient behavioral health hospital in Lane County.
The 96-bed, free-standing facility will be named Timber Springs Behavioral Health Hospital and will be located near PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield. The hospital will provide comprehensive inpatient behavioral health services for adolescent, adult and geriatric patients, as well as intensive outpatient treatment.
In a private/public partnership, the facility will be constructed next to the planned Lane Crisis Stabilization Center, providing convenient access to a growing collection of behavioral health resources in the community.
Timber Springs Behavioral Health Hospital will replace PeaceHealth’s current 35-bed behavioral health unit located on the University District campus, nearly tripling capacity for behavioral health patients across the region. The current unit is designed to treat only the most acute adult psychiatric patients, meaning the new hospital will not just increase capacity, but expand services to many new patients.
The hospital will be architecturally designed to create a safe, therapeutic environment for patients, featuring an open, airy interior and spacious patient rooms, as well as community areas, outside courtyards, and state-of-the-art clinical spaces to support the needs of patients and families. Through diverse therapy offerings and individualized treatment programs, Timber Springs Behavioral Health Hospital will be able to treat patients experiencing a broad range of behavioral health conditions, including major depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis, schizophrenia and co-occurring alcohol or substance use disorders, among others.
PeaceHealth is planning to partner with Lifepoint Behavioral Health, a business unit of Lifepoint Health, to build and operate the new facility.
PeaceHealth and Lifepoint Rehabilitation, another business unit of Lifepoint Health, previously announced and received Oregon Health Authority approval for a 42-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital that will also be located near RiverBend in Springfield.
