Cherry Hospital, NC Department of Health and Human Services
Goldsboro, NC
The Cherry Hospital is a new facility for the care of patients requiring mental health treatment in the eastern portion of North Carolina.
The new facility will provide 312 beds for Long Term, Acute, Adolescent, Geriatric and Medical patients. The new three-story building will bring all of the hospital functions under one roof, replacing the previous campus of unconnected buildings. Mental health services will be provided through the “treatment mall” approach for patient care. The primary treatment mall is organized along a 760-foot long “Main Street” that stitches the various programmatic components together with outdoor courtyards so the hospital functions much like the small towns found in eastern North Carolina. Building wings for diagnostics, treatment, and administration are to one side of the “Main Street” while patient residences and recreational programs are connected to the other side.
