Mobile Psychiatric Nursing Program
Behavioral Health Services at Our Meadville Hospital
Our mobile psychiatric nursing program at Meadville Medical Center (MMC)
is committed to providing help for adults with serious mental illness
to manage their medications. This program is part of our
behavioral health services department at MMC. Our program’s goal is to improve independence
with managing psychiatric medications. This can result in a decrease in
symptoms, as well as reduction of risk of crisis situations and a reduction
in inpatient hospitalizations.
