Boys Town Residential
Treatment Center Expanding
To Serve More Youth

This fall, Boys Town National Research Hospital will break ground once again for a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) to be built on the Brookhouser Medical Campus at Boys Town, next to the most recent RTC building that opened in September 2013. When completed, the RTC located on the Downtown Medical Campus will relocate to the new facility. The new building will mirror the existing RTC facility and will accommodate 44 youth, ages 5 to 18 years, with severe behavioral and mental health problems.

In addition to the residential services, the facility will include an outpatient child and adolescent psychiatry clinic with six offices. The current psychiatry clinic at Boys Town headquarters building will relocate to the new building allowing for improved access and parking for patients. The new RTC and outpatient psychiatric clinic are expected to open at the end of 2016.

The unoccupied 18,000 square foot downtown RTC facility will be put to good use. Plans are under development for the use of the new space, including research, office space, food services and patient care.

"Our mission is to change the way America cares for kids," said John Arch, Executive Vice President of Health Care and Director of Boys Town National Research Hospital. "With the new RTC and outpatient clinic, we further that mission."

Boys Town, established in 1917, is a private, not-for-profit home that offers Intervention and Assessment Services, Treatment Family Services, Foster Family Services, In-Home Family Services and Child and Family Support Services.
