Franciscan Health Dyer (Ind.) will transition to a campus dedicated to behavioral health services by late 2027, according to an Nov. 22 news release from the Mishawaka, Ind.-based system.
The plan, approved by the Franciscan Alliance Board of Trustees, is designed to address the growing demand for behavioral health services in the region. The transition will involve expanding the current 92-bed inpatient behavioral health unit and introducing additional behavioral health services.
The Dyer campus will also feature a new emergency intake department dedicated to behavioral health patients, while the existing emergency rooms will be repurposed into a high-acuity Franciscan ExpressCare for non-behavioral medical care.
