Elford Inc. Building $60M Franklin Crisis Care Center

The $60 million Franklin County Crisis Care Center is due to open in 2025.

By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

What began as a community conversation several years ago is becoming reality in Columbus, Ohio. When it opens in 2025, the $60 million Franklin County Crisis Care Center will serve adults, ages 18 and up, who are experiencing a mental health and/or addiction-related crisis.

“This project was influenced by several realities, including the fact that more than 20 percent of Franklin County’s residents will experience a mental illness in a given year, and demand for services is forecasted to grow 23 percent in the next 10 years,” said Jonathan Thomas, chief operating officer of the Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board of Franklin County (ADAMH).

“In Franklin County, more than 70 per-

cent of the crisis encounters each year are treated in hospital emergency departments, instead of in community-based settings where the evidence is clear that care is more tailored, and outcomes are better for individuals.”

The facility is designed to provide a welcoming, home-like environment with the appropriate infrastructure and staffing to ensure individuals and their family members

are greeted without stigma, while adhering to the highest safety standards appropriate for mental health and addiction crisis care.

According to Thomas, ADAMH and the Central Ohio Hospital Council had been working on creating a more equitable, accessible way to help individuals in crisis and respond in ways that best meet their needs.

were part of the planning process, serving on steering committees and work groups that carefully evaluated needs and made recommendations. Participants included mental health and addiction service providers, hospitals, law enforcement, advocacy organizations, and most importantly, individuals and families who have experienced a mental health or addiction crisis.”

The two-level,72,000-sq.-ft. facility benefits from tremendous collaborative support in its planning and has received funding from various institutions and donors.

Introducing a truly unique machine with endless possibilities.

The JCB Te Teleskid is the first and only skid steer and compact track loader with a telescopic boom, making it the most versati t le machine you’ve ever seen. It can lift higherr,, reach fur ther and dig deeper than any other skid steer on the market and can access areas you wouldn’t haavve thought possible, until now.

Financial backing includes federal, state, county and city support. An advisory council continues to provide feedback and guidance to ADAMH and the project team during the development of the center.

“Franklin County’s challenges with mental health and addiction mirror many communities and the pandemic served to amplify those needs,” said Thomas. “ADAMH and our partners believe we should have the same priority for mental health as physical health, because a healthy community benefits us all.” see CARE page 4 ADAMH photo

Elford Inc. serves as general contractor on the project.

The center will provide a new approach to crisis care that integrates recovery, clinical and medical services together to provide comprehensive patient-centered care in one location.

Thomas noted that a “no-wrong-door” approach will ensure that any adult arriving at the center receives services regardless of ability to pay.

“The Franklin County Crisis Care Center is an example of what can happen when a community comes together to collaboratively find innovative solutions to an issue. It demonstrates the power of partnerships.”

Thomas added that in addition to peer supporters, staff in a variety of roles will bring lived experiences to their work, enhancing their approach, whether they are a clinician, physician or member of the administrative team.

Elford Inc. serves as general contractor on the project, which Thomas said is making progress.

“Site utilities, foundations and aggregate piers are all under way or will complete shortly. Building pad construction is complete. Relocating an existing storm line enabled work required to start the building pad. Building foundations just began, so the structure, and everything in it, remains.”

He added, “This project has a particularly tight site once the building starts, but the real challenges are navigating the busy market in central Ohio.”
