Mental Health

At the Wyoming County Community Health System Mental Health Unit, our mission is to provide, with sensitivity and respect, optimal mental health care services to all in need in our community. We are a twelve-bed, acute care, locked psychiatric unit serving Wyoming and surrounding counties. The unit operates as a multi-disciplinary treatment team consisting of Psychiatrists, Nurses, Mental Health Specialists, Recreation Therapists, Social Workers, Psychiatric Assignment Officers, Dietitians, and Pharmacists. The staff strives to work with patients in a caring, kind, respectful, effective environment. The Mental Health Unit uses the therapeutic milieu to provide treatment. A variety of therapeutic groups are designed to assist patients in regaining skills and relations with the community. Acute care in-patients are evaluated through the Emergency Department for admission. Patients are either admitted or referred to out-patient services.
