Tampa General Hospital's Behavioral Health Hospital, a new four-story hospital in the heart of Tampa's Medical and Research District, broke ground on Monday, as officials from Tampa General Hospital, Lifepoint Behavioral Health and USF Health came together with elected officials with shovels to throw dirt at the site.

The TGH Behavioral Health Hospital is expected to open in late 2024, say TGH officials, and will be the first and only free-standing academic medical behavioral health hospital in Florida.

John Couris, hospital CEO, says as the Tampa Bay region grows, "the demand for mental and behavioral health services is higher than ever before. … The TGH Behavioral Health Hospital will significantly expand Floridians' access to mental health services, and our patients can expect the world-class care we consistently deliver at TGH."
