Berglund Construction, a leader in behavioral health facilities, recently celebrated the groundbreaking of a 144-bed behavioral health hospital in Apopka, Florida. The project marks a significant milestone in Berglund Construction's commitment to advancing behavioral health infrastructure as a leading firm in the field.
The event occurred on the site of the new hospital – located at 1452 S. Orange Blossom Trail in Apopka, Florida – and celebrated the joint venture partnership between Orlando Health and Acadia Healthcare. Slated to open in Spring 2025, the hospital will be a center of excellence situated ideally to serve as a natural extension of the Orlando Health system.
“This hospital will expand Orlando Health’s existing capabilities and provide greater access to life-saving behavioral health services,” Chris Hunter, Chief Executive Officer of Acadia Healthcare. “We are so proud to be affiliated with Orlando Health, and we look forward to the opportunity to work together to address a vital and growing need in central Florida. This hospital will continue in Orlando Health’s legacy of providing quality behavioral health services to their patients.”
The state-of-the-art hospital will offer comprehensive inpatient and intensive outpatient treatment for adults, seniors, children and adolescents who struggle with acute symptoms of mental health such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as treatment for co-occurring disorders. Berglund Construction is the construction manager and Stengel Hill Architecture is the architect for the project.
“With a longstanding history in the healthcare industry, the Berglund team looks forward to continuing this partnership with Acadia Healthcare and Orlando Health in serving the community with an exceptional, and much needed, healthcare facility,” stated Fred Berglund, President of Berglund Construction.
Berglund recently partnered with Acadia Healthcare to complete a comprehensive renovation of its Montrose Behavioral Health Hospital. This project is a true testament to Berglund’s expertise in managing complex healthcare projects as well as its commitment to revitalizing not only Chicago's healthcare landscape but expanding its offerings to the greater Orlando area.
