Mental Health Hospital Coming To OKC

The Griffin Memorial Hospital in Norman is making the move to Oklahoma City, bringing hundreds of jobs and beds.

The mental health hospital will sell its current land and move an area south of Oklahoma State University's Oklahoma City campus.

The move will bring approximately 220 jobs to the city, as well as 275 beds for adults and 80 for youth in need of treatment.

Oklahoma County Commissioners voted unanimously to reserve $1 million in "American Rescue Plan" funding for the facility.
