    "excerpt": "Universal Health Services (NYSE: UHS) has opened Three Trails Behavioral Hospital, a 120-bed facility that will provide inpatient and outpatient behavioral health care for children, teens and adults in Independence, Missouri. ​According to the company’s release, the facility was a $60 million investment that will add 200 full-time jobs to the area. ​“Expanding behavioral healthcare capacity is essential to building healthier communities,” said Coleby Wright, CEO of Three Trails Behavioral Hospital. “Three Trails was designed to provide safe, high-quality care for individuals at different ages and stages of life. With 120 new beds and a range of inpatient and outpatient services, we are increasing access to specialized treatment close to home while becoming an important part of the broader healthcare community in Western Missouri.” ​While this new opening offers inpatient and outpatient care, the behavioral health giant has recently made plans to double down on its outpatient segment. Specifically, the provider acquired virtual behavioral health provider Talkspace over the summer for $835 million to reach more patients seeking outpatient care. ​Pediatric care provider Brightline Health has added its fifth clinic in New York state, opening a facility in Albany. ​The provider offers families hybrid care with virtual and in-person locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island...",
