We are actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation and taking steps to keep our patients and staff safe. As such, we wanted to share with you some steps we are taking:

Aligning with public health authorities

  • We have created a team dedicated to our response to this pandemic. They closely follow the recommendations from CDC, monitoring our response and ensuring that these responses are in alignment with CDC recommendations.
Protecting our staff and patients
  • We have taken steps to limit exposure to the virus by screening all new patients for admission to our facility, following CDC guidelines, before being accepted for transfer. This decision complies with new federal and state directives to limit exposure of people in in-patient psychiatric facilities to COVID-19.
  • Visitation hours have changed, please reach out to individual agencies for details.
  • We have increased sanitation of high traffic and patient care areas, utilizing disinfectants recommended by CDC.

  • We have opened up to visitors and events with some limitations.
  • Our inpatient services are open and fully operational including our admissions department.
  • Our outpatient services are open but modified hours.
