Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment programs will be attached to this hospital as well.

We're growing and we are seeking highly motivated, adaptable individual with an interest in delivering excellent healthcare as a Geriatric Psychiatrist for our new behavioral health hospital.

However, few will offer you the personal and professional satisfaction and the opportunity to work in a safety-net academic, community integrated medical system that is leading the way to a healthier community through service, teaching, discovery, and teamwork. We have exceptional clinicians with extraordinary hearts, and we are looking for more to join us.
