The initial proposal calls for 326 beds and over 400 housing units amid seven acres of green space.

Lemuel Shattuck has been conducting an internal review of inpatient deaths amid allegations of neglect and poor care.

New Boston Medical Center Health System CEO Alastair Bell, MD, said the health system understands the need to reshape how mental healthcare should be delivered in such facilities.

“People suffering from these conditions require a new model of care — one that offers an integrated continuum of services, delivered by leading experts devoted to long-term solutions,” he said in the report.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
