The City of Charlotte and its community partners are implementing a plan to reduce teen crime. A big part of that plan is addressing the mental health of Charlotte’s youth.
One solution in development is the future Katie Blessing Center. The owners of StarMed Healthcare are behind the facility. They say it will be the largest pediatric behavioral health resource in North Carolina.
Their goal is to transform an abandoned building in east Charlotte into a state-of-the-art center that will offer long-term, short-term, and emergency mental health care for people 18 and under. The facility will also offer inpatient and outpatient care.
Founder and CEO Michael Estramonte said it will be the first of its kind in North Carolina, offering all phases of care for pediatric behavioral health under one roof.
