The vision of the new Psychiatric hospital is to integrate into a part of the environment and society

The objectives of the design are in many respects the opposite of those of previously build psychiatric hospitals. During the previous psychiatric construction period of the early 20th century, it was assumed that psychiatric patients were placed in so-called forest hospitals away from society and the surrounding neighborhood.
The hospital's vision is to reduce patients' stigma (embarrassment) by increasing mental health skills and social interaction. The hospital will become part of the Turku Science Park area, enabling the hospital's new vision. Turku Science Park will be seen as an attractive living environment with a diverse education and research centre.

Psychiatric inpatient care and outpatient care will be placed in the hospital as a unified service system. The purpose is to deliver effective care seamlessly.

The name of Tyks Psychiatry's new hospital was chosen (Varha.fi, in Finnish).
