Psychiatric hospital in Middleton to open to patients soon

DAVID WAHLBERG Miramont Behavioral Health, a 72-bed psychiatric hospital under construction in Middleton for nearly three years, is expected to open to patients as soon as this month. The facility will add to Dane County’s 100 inpatient psychiatric beds, offering inpatient and outpatient care for children, adolescents, adults and seniors along with chemical-dependency treatment for adults and an around-the-clock intake center, company officials have said. With the county last month hiring a consultant to implement a planned Mental Health Triage and Restoration Center, Miramont will also help keep people with mental health crises out of jail and the Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Oshkosh, local officials said.

Company behind Middleton hospital has troubled history

DAVID WAHLBERG Strategic Behavioral Health, the company opening a psychiatric hospital in Middleton, in May 2020 closed a similar facility in Las Vegas after regulatory problems. In September, authorities in Colorado shut down another hospital run by the company after numerous violations. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has also issued dozens of citations to the company’s facility in Green Bay, Willow Creek Behavioral Health, which opened in 2017. Most of the violations don’t appear to be as serious as some at the company’s hospitals in other states, but one last year involved a lack of supervision in connection with an adult patient charged with sexual assault of a juvenile patient.
