LOUISVILLE, Miss. (WTOK) – Diamond Grove Center’s ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the official opening of its new 24-bed building, which will increase bed capacity and access to quality behavioral health care in Mississippi.
With this new expansion, it will alleviate emergency department capacity strains, operate an efficient behavioral health facility, and effectively address the increasing behavioral health needs for Mississippi.
“It will create additional jobs in the Winston County area, impacting our local families. We will be able to provide more services for the children and adolescents in the state of Mississippi. Of course, this will bring our total bid count to 85 beds throughout the state,” CEO of Diamond Grove Center, Patrick Swoopes, says.
Diamond Grove offers a variety of care for patients all over, ensuring they are receiving the best care.
“At Diamond Grove Center, we have 20, and we have 53 inpatient beds. We have 32 residential beds. We offer services in Starkville. We have an outpatient office in our MYPAC building. We offer MYPAC, wraparound services, community support, peer support, and day treatment services to the local schools in these areas,” says Swoopes.
While Diamond Grove Center has been around for 3 decades, it has been an integral part of the Louisville economy.
“You know, I don’t know if anyone really realized in the 90s when Diamond Grove arrived in Louisville, the impact it would have on families and individuals over 3 decades. But to see what it’s done in these past 30 years and to know that we’re just turning the page and going to ramp up the offerings, not just for employment, but for the services in the behavioral health world,” City of Louisville Mayor Will Hill says. “It’s a tremendous impact. The investment in the brick and mortar, the project itself, is great, but the opportunities for great jobs for these people who will work and continue to work at Diamond Grove. Diamond Grove has been an integral part of our economy for three decades here in Louisville. This expansion creates so many more job opportunities, quality job opportunities, so it affects the lives of people who work here, but far more, it really affects the lives and the future of our state with what they’re doing here.”
Diamond Grove Center offers state-of-the-art care, serving children and adolescents since 1997.
