The event occurred on the site of the future hospital at 3620 S.
24th St. in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and celebrated the previously
announced joint-venture partnership between Methodist and Acadia
Healthcare. Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital is an affiliate of
Omaha-based Methodist Health System.
“According to American Hospital Directory data, there is a
shortfall of more than 300 inpatient behavioral health beds in Iowa
and Nebraska,” said Dave Burd, president and chief executive
officer of Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital. “This project
demonstrates that the need for behavioral health care is urgent,
not just nationally, but right here in western Iowa and eastern
Nebraska.”
Slated to open in 2026, the hospital will be named Methodist
Jennie Edmundson Behavioral Health. The modern campus will have 96
inpatient beds – including 24 beds dedicated to serving the mental
health needs of children and adolescents – and provide intensive
outpatient services. The new hospital will be a center of
excellence, investing in the latest technology and resources to
expand access to high-quality behavioral health services in the
region. Graham Construction & Engineering is the project’s
general contractor, and Stengel Hill Architecture is the project's
architect.
The groundbreaking was attended by Council Bluffs Mayor Matt
Walsh, along with other dignitaries and leaders from Methodist
Health System and Acadia Healthcare.
Attendees saw the future hospital’s site and an architectural
rendering, which has been purposefully designed to provide the
highest level of treatment to patients who struggle with acute
symptoms of mental health and substance use disorders.
Event speakers discussed the hospital’s anticipated impact on
the community’s need for additional acute and intensive outpatient
behavioral health services. They also reaffirmed Methodist Jennie
Edmundson Hospital’s long-standing commitment to providing
high-quality, accessible behavioral health care in the
community.
“This project is an important part of helping Methodist Jennie
Edmundson Hospital and Methodist Health System deliver on our
commitment to improving the health of our communities by the way we
care, educate and innovate,” Burd said. “Methodist Jennie Edmundson
Behavioral Health will allow us to address the current and future
demands of patients with acute symptoms of mental health disorders,
and today marks a celebration of such investment in our community’s
health and well-being.”
“We’re thrilled to have an opportunity to introduce our vision
for Methodist Jennie Edmundson Behavioral Health to this
community,” said Dr. Nasser Khan, M.D., chief operating officer for
Acadia Healthcare. “We are so proud to be affiliated with Methodist
and to work together to expand high-quality care, helping to meet
the rising need in this area. This behavioral health hospital will
be a strong member of the Council Bluffs community, collaborating
with all organizations, hospitals and first responders in western
Iowa and eastern Nebraska.”
