A new Behavioral Health Unit at Kentucky Children’s Hospital opens its doors to patients this week.
The new 17-bed unit helps care for patients aged 5 to 17 with severe mental health concerns like depression, anxiety and eating disorders. It’s replacing a 10-bed unit at UK HealthCare’s Good Samaritan Hospital.
Elizabeth Fields is a patient care manager at the new unit. She said it’s helping provide its staff with care resources they didn’t have before.
