Methodist Family Health, a complete, statewide continuum of care providing psychiatric, behavioral and emotional services to children and their families who are abandoned, abused and neglected, recently purchased the facility in which the Arkansas Continued Care Hospital in Jonesboro is currently located. ACCHJ will be discontinuing operations at 3024 Red Wolf Boulevard in Jonesboro, AR. Methodist Family Health plans to remodel the hospital into an acute, 70-bed psychiatric facility for children under the age of 18.
“The leadership of Methodist Family Health and Arkansas Continued Care Hospital share the same vision in bringing an acute child and adolescent psychiatric hospital into the northeast Arkansas area,” said Andy Altom, president and CEO of Methodist Family Health. “We are excited to be expanding services into northeast Arkansas and look forward to better serving the current psychiatric programs in the area.”
The hospital will undergo some remodeling to add safety features for psychiatric acute patients under the age of 18. Leadership of Methodist Family Health and Arkansas Continued Care are working together to create a timeline of events, which will be shared when available.
