Panhandle's First State Psych Hospital | Lubbock News

Panhandle’s first state psychiatric hospital is nearing completion, set to transform mental health care in Potter County. With $159 million invested and construction ahead of schedule, the facility will house 75 patients—50 forensic, 25 civil—and open by summer 2027. Designed to relieve jail overcrowding and provide local treatment instead of forcing transfers to Wichita Falls, it’ll employ 360 staff and offer critical inpatient care right where it’s needed most.
