The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) will hold an information session on Thursday covering the $573 million replacement of Terrell State Hospital.
Opened in 1885, the public psychiatric hospital is long overdue for improvements. According to a press release, “The new facility will have 250 slots: 25 civil commitment, 50 maximum security, 35 adolescent and 140 non-maximum security beds.”
Construction will begin in late summer with a goal of completion in fall 2027.
The information session is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday at the Terrell State Hospital Gym. Emily Hummel is the point of contact for this session.
Terrell State Hospital is the latest psychiatric hospital replacement project in the state after HHSC’s grand opening of the $305 million Austin State Hospital this month and the $357 million San Antonio State Hospital in April.
House Bill 1 also includes a $75 million budget for the construction of Dallas State Hospital, which began construction in January 2023.
