(KNOX) – Gov. Kelly Armstrong, along with state agency officials, legislators and local leaders, led a groundbreaking ceremony for the new North Dakota State Hospital. The event marked a significant milestone in the state’s commitment to investing in services that support the behavioral health needs of North Dakotans.
The 300,000-square-foot facility in Jamestown will provide 140 beds in a modern, trauma-informed care environment, replacing the existing hospital that has served North Dakotans since 1885. The new State Hospital will be built for the future with specialized therapeutic spaces, advanced security measures to support patient and team member safety, and an expanded capacity to meet the changing needs of North Dakota.
“This project represents our commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate behavioral health care across North Dakota,” Armstrong said. “It’s a reflection of our focus on modernizing public services and collaboration, from state legislators to care teams. With a new State Hospital, we’re investing not only in infrastructure but in people – those receiving care and those providing it.”
The groundbreaking ceremony was held at the future site of the new North Dakota State Hospital west of the current hospital along 12th Ave. SE in Jamestown. State legislators, leadership from North Dakota Health and Human Services (HHS), community leaders and other stakeholders gathered to commemorate the momentous occasion.
