Community Health, Lifepoint propose 120‑bed behavioral health center in Fishers; zoning hearings set
Community Health Network and Lifepoint Behavioral Health announced plans for a 120‑bed, 75,000‑sq‑ft short‑term inpatient behavioral healthcare center near 136th Street and Southeastern Parkway in Fishers. The rezoning was introduced Oct. 12, 2026; a public hearing is set for Dec. 2 and a final council vote for Dec. 14, 2026.
Community Health and Lifepoint plan a 120‑bed, 75,000‑square‑foot behavioral health center aimed at short‑term inpatient care for patients ages 8 and up referred for services, including conditions such as postpartum depression and suicidal thoughts. Current Publishing reported the rezone was introduced at the Oct. 12, 2026 Fishers City Council meeting.
The partners say patients would generally stay about seven to 10 days; the center will not include an emergency department. Lifepoint would manage day‑to‑day operations, a developer would buy and build the site and lease it back, and the project’s public hearing is scheduled for Dec. 2, 2026 with final council action on Dec. 14, 2026.
