GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) - Plans for a new psychiatric hospital in Greenville are on hold.

Executives of Prisma Health-Upstate said last year that the $34.7 million hospital was set to open in the winter of 2020.

The Greenville News reports that it was to replace the aging Marshall I. Pickens Psychiatric Hospital, which was going to be demolished to make way for a new cancer institute.



The newspaper reports that plans for the psychiatric hospital and cancer institute are in limbo as officials spend the next few months re-evaluating capital spending.
