Renamed BayCare Northside Behavioral Health Center, the center provides individuals and families comprehensive, innovative and affordable behavioral health care services, according to a statement.
"Behavioral health care is essential for the total health of all patients," BayCare President and CEO Stephanie Conners says in the release. "We are stronger together, leveraging BayCare's resources to support Northside's commitment to meeting patients where they are."
All employees were given the opportunity to continue their jobs as part of BayCare, the release states.

We're all focused on the same goal and have shared the same leadership team for years, so I expect a seamless transition as we continue providing extraordinary care for all we serve."
