Ballad Health repurposing Takoma Hospital in Greeneville for new treatment and services facility for women and children

Ballad Health is re-purposing a former hospital in Greeneville as a treatment facility for pregnant women and mothers suffering from addiction.

Officials unveiled the Ballad Health Strong Futures program on Thursday, which will serve to provide behavioral health services, including addiction treatment, as a way to help women and children that need medical assistance. Several local lawmakers, regional leaders, and the Governor of TN expressed wide ranging support, and even garnished a two year, seven million dollar grant for the program from the state.
