PeaceHealth plans to build and operate an inpatient behavioral health hospital in Lane County, Oregon.
The hospital will provide comprehensive inpatient behavioral health services for adolescent, adult and geriatric patients, as well as intensive outpatient treatment, the system said in a release. The 96-bed, freestanding facility will be named Timber
Springs Behavioral Health Hospital. It will be located near PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield.
The facility will be next to the planned Lane Crisis Stabilization Center, providing convenient access to a growing collection of behavioral health resources in the community.
Timber Springs will replace PeaceHealth's current 35-bed behavioral health unit on the University District campus, nearly tripling capacity for behavioral health patients across the region. Because the current unit is designed to treat only the most acute
adult psychiatric patients, the new hospital will not only increase capacity, but also expand services.
PeaceHealth plans to partner with Lifepoint Behavioral Health, a business unit of Lifepoint Health, to build and operate the new facility. The opening is planned for 2027.
