You will play a dynamic role in patient treatment and recovery as a key member of a multidisciplinary treatment team. During daily rounds, you will work with the psychiatric physician, social worker, student trainees and others to ensure that your patients are receiving optimum care. HCPC each year delivers mental healthcare services to more than 5,000 patients. We are a short-term facility and provide a multitude of treatment programs to assist in the treatment of severe psychiatric problems, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and depression. Patients come to the hospital through several different routes.
Patients range in age from children aged four and up to senior citizens.
They are treated for a number of chronic and persistent mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder, major depression, and schizophrenia. Some of HCPC's patients suffer from various levels of mental retardation or have a substance abuse problem which further complicates their mental illness. Adult care is provided in any of seven treatment units. A 12-bed unit serves in a patient receiving capacity. These units serve adults between the ages of 18 and 50.
