Each day, we are closing the gaps in access to care, innovating through leading‑edge research, testing, programs, and treatment modalities that others replicate across the country. Our services include a state‑of‑the‑art psychiatric urgent care center and a soon‑to‑be‑built pediatric behavioral health center, outpatient, inpatient, partial hospitalization (day programs), assessment and testing, residential, addiction treatment and specialty services such as crisis response, employee assistance programs, forensic psychiatry and psychology, and neuromodulation.

Our on‑the‑job educational programs for nurses, psychologists, advanced practice providers, psychiatrists and chaplains are equipping the next generation of care providers. We are passionate about serving and are honored to be a part of this incredible work.
