OVGH Opens Hospital Unit
Ohio Valley General Hospital celebrated the grand opening of Willow
Brook Geropsychiatric Unit in June with an open house.Participants met
the staff and got a personal tour of Willow Brook.
Willow Brook Geropsychiatric Unit provides short term (8 – 10 days)
inpatient psychiatric services to adults 65+ who have mental health
needs. The program is recovery-centered in its approach and strives to
help individuals to not only address their mental health needs, but also
reconnect with their hopes and personal motivations. Willow Brook will
provide a safe, therapeutic environment which allows people to maintain
as much normalcy in their everyday routines as possible. The staff of
Willow Brook will work in tandem with Ohio Valley General Hospital’s
medical services to ensure that both medical and psychiatric needs are
addressed simultaneously and cohesively.
