Franciscan Health Dyer will transition in late 2027 to a campus dedicated to treating behavioral health patients, the Franciscan Alliance healthcare ministry announced.

The transition in late 2027 to a behavioral health campus, approved by the Franciscan Alliance Board of Trustees, aims to meet the growing need for behavioral healthcare while supporting Franciscan Alliance’s regional approach to healthcare. 

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health reports more than 22% of Indiana’s adults have mental illness and more than 27% of young adults have mental illness but only 17% received mental health services in the past year, according to a release. 

“The ability to provide mental health services has not been able to keep up with the increased demand nationwide, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which left millions of patients of all ages untreated or underserved,” the release said.

A study published in Oct. 2023 in the Journal of American Medicine Network on the economic burden associated with untreated mental illness in Indiana found it was associated with $4.2 billion in annual societal costs.
