Franklin, Tennessee-based Acadia Healthcare, a provider of addiction, psychiatric, and behavioral healthcare services, has announced the closure of its Cascade Behavioral Health Hospital, a 137-bed psychiatric facility located in Tukwila, Washington.
The closure will impact 288 employees as it ceases operations on July 31, 2023.
According to a company statement, “Cascade has made the difficult decision to close its operations by July 31. Prior to our closure, Cascade will work with state and local agencies to ensure an orderly transition of remaining patients to the appropriate services as determined by the clinical treatment team."
"Through COVID and other complexities, Cascade proudly remained steadfast in our commitment to our patients and community. However, the breadth of challenges created a situation where the long-term viability of the hospital was no longer sustainable."
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
