The Dutchess County Department of Behavioral and Community Health is partnered with MidHudson Regional Hospital to establish the Center of Excellence.

 

HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley, Kingston, NY

The newly renovated Mary’s Avenue campus of the HealthAlliance Hospital is bringing back 20 inpatient mental health beds to Ulster County, which has lacked hospital inpatient psychiatric services since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.  When the unit opens, it will house a multidisciplinary treatment team comprised of psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners, nurses, patient care techs, mental health therapists, recreational and activity therapists, case managers, discharge planners, and unit clerks.

 

The Ulster County Department of Behavioral and Community Health also collaborates closely with HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley to assure successful linkages to community-based aftercare.
