CHARLOTTE — Novant Health is investing $2.5 million in partnership with the Katie Blessing Center to develop Charlotte’s most comprehensive adolescent behavioral health urgent care, set to open in early 2026.

The facility aims to provide accessible mental health support for young people facing crises, addressing the needs of nearly 1 in 4 children and adolescents experiencing mental, emotional, or behavioral disorders.

“At Novant Health, we recognize the urgent need for accessible and compassionate mental health support for young people,” said Dr. Sid Fletcher, senior vice president and president of Novant Health’s Charlotte Region.
