Wellness Begins Within

Behavioral Medicine is the specialty that specifically focuses on the health of a person's mind. Since mental health issues frequently have a physiological basis or can contribute to medical problems, Behavioral Medicine patients receive whole person care. Patient's family members participate in the treatment and recovery process.

Glendale Adventist Medical Center's Behavioral Medicine Services offers a full continuum of care for adults, including inpatient and outpatient services.

Acute and General Psychiatry Services

These services are provided in Glendale Adventist Medical Center's Psychiatric Institute, a 60-bed, hospital-based facility that provides a safe and secure environment for inpatient care.

Psychiatric Medicine Services

Persons with a primary psychiatric diagnosis who also require inpatient care for a medical illness are treated in the Institute's Psychiatric Medicine Services program. Staff in this program have special expertise in geriatric care.

Partial Hospitalization / Outpatient Services

Glendale Adventist Medical Center provides behavioral medicine outpatient services to all people dealing with the symptoms of a mental illness. Our staff of professionals--psychiatrists, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, social workers, registered nurses and others--work together to ensure that the care provided is personalized and appropriate for the needs of the individual.
