INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch joined Family and Social Services Secretary Dr. Jennifer Walthall Friday to dedicate and officially open Indiana’s newest state psychiatric hospital, located on the east side of Indianapolis.

The state-of-the-art NeuroDiagnostic Institute and Advanced Treatment Center is Indiana’s first new state psychiatric hospital in 53 years, and will advance evaluation and treatment for patients with the most challenging and complex neuropsychiatric illnesses.

Dr. Walthall said “This state-of-the-art hospital will take advantage of the most recent advances in brain research and clinical care to optimize the quality of care and diagnoses for all Hoosiers with severe psychiatric illnesses.”

The staff of the 159-bed facility will serve a diverse patient population, focusing on brain-based disorders.

Patients will be referred to the hospital from community mental health centers, other state psychiatric hospitals and judicial partners. The hospital will begin receiving patients in the next few weeks.
