About Your Organization:
The hospital recently opened a new 33-bed medical behavioral health unit. The 16,688 square feet unit offers a wide range of services aimed at treating patients who have psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder psychosis, depression and schizophrenia as well as medical disorders.
This integrated approach is especially important because many psychiatric hospitals may not be equipped to manage complex or ongoing medical issues. Patients with both medical and behavioral health needs often face barriers to getting comprehensive care, sometimes resulting in delayed treatment or frequent transfers between facilities.
At UofL Health – Mary & Elizabeth Hospital, the Medical Behavioral Health unit is uniquely designed to eliminate those barriers. Here, patients can receive both medical and psychiatric care in one location, improving continuity of care. This is particularly beneficial for adult and geriatric patients, who often experience a combination of physical and mental health challenges.
The medical behavioral health unit cares for adult and geriatric patients. Behavioral health services include:
• Acute crisis stabilization
• Group therapy
• Behavior management
• Medical management
• Treatment of acute psychiatric symptoms
To learn more about medical behavioral health services provided at Mary & Elizabeth Hospital, along with the process to be admitted, please call 502-612-0105 | Fax 502-361-6661.
