The plan, approved by the Franciscan Alliance Board of Trustees, is designed to address the growing demand for behavioral health services in the region. The transition will involve expanding the current 92-bed inpatient behavioral health unit and introducing additional behavioral health services. 

The Dyer campus will also feature a new emergency intake department dedicated to behavioral health patients, while the existing emergency rooms will be repurposed into a high-acuity Franciscan ExpressCare for non-behavioral medical care.  

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.
