Oceans Healthcare enters JV to build new facility, expand services

Oceans Healthcare has announced a joint venture (JV) with CHRISTUS Spohn Health System, a Corpus Christi, Texas-based hospital operator, to expand its behavioral health care services in the southern coastal part of the state.

As part of the arrangement, the pair will build a behavioral health unit and add outpatient behavioral health services at the Shoreline campus of CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi.

The behavioral health unit — which will be owned by Plano, Texas-based Oceans — will house 40 beds and expand inpatient bed capacity at the campus by more than 20% to allow for the treatment of more clinically acute patients. The JV will also expand the campus’ intensive outpatient programming (IOP) for patients dealing with mental health challenges.

The new 30,000-square-foot behavioral health unit will occupy two floors and provide specialized care to adults 18 and up, as well as to seniors age 55 and older. The unit is expected to open in the spring of 2021 and will replace the one currently located at CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi’s Memorial campus.

Providing inpatient and outpatient services across Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, Oceans operates 33 locations and is backed by the venture capital firm General Catalyst Partners. Oceans focuses on underserved populations, such as seniors and people in rural geographies.

Meanwhile, CHRISTUS Spohn Health System operates six campuses and is the largest hospital system in South Texas.
