Policymakers and behavioral health professionals from across Bucks County recently gathered in Doylestown to witness the raising of a roof truss for the Bright Path Center, slated to open in spring 2026.
Over two dozen officials signed a wooden support truss, which contractors lifted and installed on the Bright Path Center’s roof.
Crews are building the new facility beside the Lenape Valley Foundation at 500 N. West Street, on the Doylestown Hospital property. The Lenape Valley Foundation will operate the center.
This first-of-its-kind center in Pennsylvania will serve families and individuals from Lower Bucks and Central Bucks.
“This is a special milestone,” said Dave Herold, Lenape Valley Foundation’s CEO. “It’s more than steel, lumber and concrete. It celebrates a vision that is coming to life, a vision of inclusive, accessible, responsive behavioral health system for the residents of Bucks County.”
Bright Path Center will bring together a range of behavioral health crisis services and provide trauma-informed, person-centered care in a soothing environment.
Experienced behavioral health professionals will be available 24/7 to support individuals facing mental health, substance use, or intellectual disability crises.
The 22,000-square-foot center includes separate spaces for children and adults.
