Punta Gorda, Florida – February 13, 2024 – ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda proudly announces the grand opening of its new behavioral health center on February 29 at 5:30 p.m. Located within the ShorePoint Health kospital building, this new location marks a transformative milestone in delivering mental health care services to our community.
Following the devastation of Hurricane Ian, which severely damaged our longstanding facility that had been serving our community since the 1980s, ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda resiliently reestablished and enhanced its behavioral health services home.

"The inauguration of our new behavioral health center underscores our firm dedication to prioritizing the mental health and well-being of our community," stated Andy Romine, CEO of ShorePoint Health. "Through this facility, we commit ourselves to providing dignified and compassionate care and empowering individuals to achieve optimal mental health outcomes."
Embracing a patient-centered approach, the behavioral health center provides a welcoming environment conducive to healing. In addition to the opening of the facility, the beautiful new center now welcomes walk-ins, fostering an atmosphere where conversations about mental health are normalized and encouraged.
ShorePoint Behavioral Center features a twenty-four bed acute care facility, catering to both voluntary adult patients. With a committed and dedicated team of experts standing ready to deliver excellence in specialized mental health care, the center is equipped to address a broad spectrum of common mental health diagnoses, including anxiety disorders, depression, geriatric psychiatry, grief, memory disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and schizophrenia.
"As director of nursing services, I have witnessed the profound impact high quality mental health care services can have on individuals and our community as a whole," expressed Diana Donnelly. "Our new behavioral health center represents a significant stride forward in our mission to deliver compassionate mental health care services."
The ribbon-cutting ceremony on February 29 at 5:30 p.m. heralds the official opening of the behavioral health center, symbolizing ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda's continued commitment to enhancing mental health care accessibility and quality within the community. All are invited to join in this auspicious occasion and witness the dawn of a new era in behavioral health care in Charlotte County.
