“Pearls for Partners” begins its 2022 fall season with a valuable presentation from our medical experts about “Opening a Psychiatric Urgent Care – What We’ve Learned”.
When Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services opened the doors of its innovative Psychiatric Urgent Care Center in 2019, the goal was to improve access for mental health care for adults 18+, and decrease the burden on local hospital emergency rooms. In its first three years, the number of patients served has exceeded all expectations with 13,500 persons experiencing a mental health crisis receiving same day assessment and treatment. Dr. Bibhas Singla, Medical Director of Hospital and Residential Services, Kyle Hoffmaster, Director of Patient Access, and Dr. Natalie Wallace, will share insights on the successes and challenges they’ve faced with opening the first psychiatric urgent care center in the region. Included will be lessons learned as Pine Rest prepares to add urgent care services for children and adolescents.
