Adult Psychiatry Clinic

Our Mission

The Clinic is dedicated to providing the best available care that our community has to offer. Referrals to our Clinic are screened to fulfill our missions of teaching those in training while being able to assist patients in resolving problems. In the event a patient is not accepted into our program, we will work with the patient to locate appropriate alternative care.

The Admission and Treatment Process

• Those seeking treatment may be self-referred or be referred by their physicians or other social agencies.
• Psychiatric and Psychological evaluations are also completed for Departments at University Hospital.
