This webinar will offer new lessons learned and insights arising out of 20 mental health projects currently in design, under construction, or recently occupied encompassing over 5,000 beds in 14 States in every part of the United Sates. This diversity of current experience has given rise to important lessons about project budgets, construction costs, clinical practice, patient safety, and the impact of a pandemic on hospitals and practice. Francis Pitts will share an overview of what he and his colleagues have been learning about the changing face of mental health facility planning and design during the last two years.
