Enhancing
Comprehensive Behavioral Health Services Across East Tennessee and Southwest
Virginia
Kingsport,
TN – January 18, 2024 –
Creekside Behavioral Health is thrilled to announce the successful completion
of a 24-bed expansion at its Kingsport, TN campus. Since its inception in
October 2018, Creekside has provided compassionate and evidence-based
behavioral healthcare to nearly 12,000 patients, ranging in age from 9 to
seniors. The hospital’s focus remains on its commitment to the community,
providing empathetic behavioral healthcare to the region.
The expansion
increases the facility to 96 beds to better serve the ever-growing mental and behavioral
healthcare needs of the communities they serve. In response to the escalating
demand for outpatient services, a new outpatient space on American Way in
Kingsport is set to open its doors this month. Additionally, Creekside will
broaden its services by launching a Child and Adolescent outpatient clinic in
Knoxville in 2024, along with a new outpatient clinic in Johnson City.
Creekside
prides itself on its robust multidisciplinary team comprising of Psychiatrists,
Licensed Therapists, Psychiatric Nurses, Care Managers, Mental Health
Technicians, Dieticians, and Client Advocates. This cohesive unit of over 200
professionals ensures that patients get the best care, be it inpatient or
outpatient, with services like Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive
Outpatient (IOP) available for those aged 11 and above.
Ric
McAllister, Creekside CEO, commented, “As we mark this expansion of services,
we remain ever committed to our community and the broader Southeastern US
region. Our dedicated team is the cornerstone of our success, and I am
immensely grateful for their unwavering dedication. Their resolve, has truly
set a benchmark in healthcare.”
A Ribbon
Cutting and Open House will be held on Friday, January 19th at 12:00 PM to
celebrate with the community.
