New $231M Hospital to Replace Aging Touchette | St. Louis News

SIHF Healthcare is set to build a $231 million state-approved hospital in Cahokia Heights, replacing the aging, flood-prone Touchette Regional Hospital — with a major focus on mental health, especially for teens. Construction begins in March 2027 on a 35-acre site near I-255, tripling psychiatric beds to 96 and adding a 24-bed adolescent unit funded by a $15 million state grant. This will end the crisis of teens being sent hours away for care — often straining local EMS — while the existing outpatient center stays open and the old building’s future remains undecided.
