Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters Tops Out Pediatric Mental Health Hospital
Officials at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters (CHKD; Norfolk, Va.) celebrated the topping out of its new mental health hospital in Norfolk with the highest beam placed atop the 14-story structure, according to an article in Wavy.com.
Located on the same campus as CHKD’s main hospital, the $224 million project will provide a full spectrum of mental health services for children.
The hospital will feature 60 private inpatient rooms with sleeping accommodations for a parent, as well as outpatient care, therapy, and counseling. Additionally, a partial hospitalization program will enable children to spend most of the day at the hospital, but still reside at home.
Amenity spaces include an outdoor recreation area, indoor gym, music room and recording studio, rooftop garden, multisensory room, and family lounge areas.
The project is slated to open in 2022.
