Psychiatry Department at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at Permian Basin is in a unprecedented growth projectory. Its new home, the Permian Basin Behavioral Health Center (PBBHC), a state-of-the-art 200-bed psychiatric hospital is scheduled to open in April 2026.

Additionally, it will have a 42-bed forensic unit for individuals in the criminal justice system requiring mental health evaluations and treatment.

The integration of TTUHSC's Department of Psychiatry and the PBBHC will facilitate expansion of the current residency and fellowship programs, and will provide medical students, residents and fellows an opportunity to use modern tools and techniques for treating mental illnesses. Additionally, collaboration with local academic institutions, such as the University of Texas Permian Basin, Midland College, and Odessa College, will support workforce development initiatives, scholarship programs and specialized training tracks to address the regional shortage of mental health professionals.
