Becker’s Honors Sanford Health For Its Psychiatry And Mental Health Programs
Becker's Hospital Review has named Sanford Health to the first edition of its “Hospitals and health systems with great psychiatry and mental health programs” list.
The hospitals and health systems included on this list are lauded for their dedication to improving patients' mental and behavioral health. They have implemented programs, initiatives and service lines that will enhance quality of life for their patients.
Sanford Health's behavioral health department guides patients through their mental health journeys via virtual and in-person care. Experts assist with addiction, anxiety, depression, gender or sexual identity issues, burnout, trauma and much more. The department specializes in psychiatry, psychology, counseling, chemical dependency, eating disorders and occupational therapy. A range of programs are provided to address different levels of need and flexibility, with some patients benefiting from inpatient care or partial hospitalization and others receiving virtual care, outpatient care or community-based care.
“Our message to patients is we want them to be their best self and that we are here to help,” said Dr. Jeffrey Leichter, licensed psychologist and lead administrator for behavioral health integration at Sanford Health. “Sanford Health is proud of the range of behavioral care we are able to provide and would like to thank Becker’s for recognizing our commitment to improving our patients’ wellbeing.”
To compile the inaugural list, the Becker’s editorial team accepted nominations and completed editorial research. The full list features individual profiles of all hospitals and health systems on the list and can be read here.
