Psychiatric Inpatient Services

We accept voluntary adult men and women (18 years and older).

Our Professional Team

Only through a collaborative approach with a multi-disciplinary treatment team can the individual needs of the patient be addressed. Directed by the patient’s psychiatrist, the treatment team coordinates care to assure patients’ needs are being addressed and treatment goals are being met. The team members include:

• Psychiatrists
• Psychologists
• Social Workers
• Registered Nurses
• Occupational/Recreational Therapists
• Nutritionists

In addition, because St. Francis is a major medical center, other specialists are available to address specific medical needs that may be issues in preventing healthy psychological recovery.

Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays: 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Patient’s Right to Confidentiality

Please understand that while receiving treatment each person has the right to keep their information confidential. SFMC staff can oly provide information to family and friends when autorized to do so through a signed “Release of Information” by the patient. Also, to ensure confidentiality for all, cell phones, cameras and I-pods are not appropriate on the unit at any time.
