The North Memorial Health Advantage

  • Emergency behavioral health clinicians are mental health providers who provide risk assessments and recommendations for behavioral health needs in the emergency room setting. Recommendations can include hospitalization, observation, release to home, and referral to outpatient services for follow-up care.
  • The observation unit is where an individual comes to be assessed by a provider to determine if we can quickly treat and improve their health to be able to send them home in less than 24 hours or determine if we need to admit them to the hospital as an inpatient as their illness cannot be resolved that quickly.
  • Nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers provide care to patients in acute psychiatric distress, often presenting in the form of mood instability, psychosis, and/or suicidality.
  • Our Mental Health Consult Service provides an avenue for treatment teams to access psychiatry, psychology, neuropsychology, and substance use services throughout the hospital.
  • Psychiatry, psychology, and licensed alcohol drug counselors provide consultation involving substance abuse issues, trauma, grief and loss, and acute mental health needs of our patients, such as: depression and anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, and questions concerning decision-making capacity.
