Allina Health's Cambridge Medical Center expands mental health facility

[County News Review, May 06, 2019] Approximately 100 local officials, psychotherapists, county social workers, community members and staff turned out for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house held at Cambridge Medical Center April 23, celebrating two new mental health programs: a new adult partial hospitalization program and an adult mental health outpatient program.

The two new mental health programs offered at Cambridge Medical Center opened on April 15. According to Allina, the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program is an option for patients when they need short-term intensive care for a mental health condition. The three-week program is directed by a psychiatric provider in a group therapy environment to help prevent and reduce hospitalization and support patients in their home environments.
