Oswego Health’s 164-bed mental health and wellness unit has over 100 specialists who are focused on creating a holistic, wellness-focused ecosystem that nurtures mental health at every level. The program is co-located with the system’s primary care department, allowing for collaboration and innovation between the two. The system offers services ranging from an inpatient psychiatric unit to an outpatient youth services center. The mental health and wellness program currently reviews over 800 patient charts every month. Oswego recently opened a 42,000-square-foot facility, The Lobdell Center for Mental Health & Wellness at Lakeview, thanks to funding from the state health department. The new center offers 32 inpatient beds and is the county’s only provider of outpatient and inpatient behavioral health services. Oswego provides $18 million a year in community investment, bringing care to the uninsured and underinsured.
