The Acute Adult Psychiatry Division provides ongoing mental health care to patients in crisis and distress. Patient and family-centered care is at the core of what we do. Partnering with patients and their families, our interdisciplinary team utilizes innovative and evidence-based practices to provide effective treatment.
We work to provide patients and families with resources in the community and within other psychiatric service areas. We aim to ensure seamless transitions for our patients as they move through the continuum of services.
