About the Unit: Cherry Hospital’s Hope & Wellness Center (HWC) uses the “treatment mall” model of service delivery.

Ultimately, most adult patients from throughout the hospital receive services at the Hope & Wellness Center. HWC programming offerings include, but are not limited to, psychotherapy and educational groups, skill building groups, individual counseling services, peer support services, work therapy, and special activities. All patients and staff re-locate to this centralized programming area as do all patient services such as meals.
