Broughton Hospital, NC Department of Health and Human Services
Morganton, NC
The Broughton Hospital is a new facility for the care of patients requiring mental health treatment in the western portion of North Carolina. The new hospital will replace a campus of existing buildings -constructed between the late 1880’s and the early 1960’s - that have become obsolete and cannot be adapted to meet current codes and the needs of NC Department of Health and Human Services.
The project includes 382 beds for acute, geriatric, medical, adolescent, forensic and long term mental health patients. These beds are configured in patient care units (PCU’s) containing 12 single and 6 double occupancy rooms as well as patient and staff support areas. In addition to the PCU’s, the facility provides treatment malls (classrooms, dining and recreation areas), patient support (clinics, dental and lab facilities) and administrative support (offices, conference rooms and building support services).
