Houston Behavioral Healthcare Hospital At 2801 Gessner Rd.

[Highrise Tower]

There are three generations of psychiatric/behavioral hospitals here at 2801 Gessner Rd. From my research the story is as follows:

In the mid 1990's a hospital named Spring Shadows Glen Psychiatric Hospital ran the place until the staff got into criminal trouble. The lawsuit claims Spring Shadows Glen Psychiatric Hospital is accused of perpetrating a "scheme to defraud by allegedly falsely diagnosing patients with multiple personality disorder caused by their alleged participation in a secret satanic cult."

In 1997, or soon after, the hospital was shut down.

In 2003, when Menninger Clinic first moved to Houston, they filled the vacant space at 2801 Gessner.  Once Menninger got situated in Houston and had their 50-acre "Mental Health Epicenter" built at 12301 South Main they left the space at 2801 Gessner.

In 2012, Aurora Behavioral Healthcare bought 2801 Gessner and opened the Houston Behavioral Healthcare Hospital.

Aurora Behavioral Healthcare, LLC (SHS) based in Corona, California, is one of the largest privately held psychiatric hospital companies in the country, serving thousands of patients every year.
