The Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit is a 34-bed facility that provides acute mental health services. Patients are supported and protected in a healing environment during their hospitalization. At all times, safety is our primary concern. We encourage patients to keep their daily routines and actively participate in their own care. A team approach provides consistent quality care.

Individualized patient care is designed by the Inpatient Behavioral Health team. Patients are encouraged to participate in establishing goals while hospitalized and progress toward those goals is monitored throughout the hospital stay.

While staying at Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit, a patient will be cared for by a variety of staff, including:

• Behavioral Health providers
• Nurses
• Social workers
• Occupational and recreational therapists
• Pastoral Care
• Other specialties as needed
