During the COVID-19 pandemic, Brandywine Hospital - Tower Health reminds the community that it offers comprehensive behavioral health services in a safe and clean environment at its campus in Caln Township. The team at Brandywine Behavioral Health offers a broad range of services, including a 64-bed, acute care inpatient facility that provides three distinct programs: older adult, general adult, and eating disorders.
The Behavioral Health staff, which is available 24 hours a day, every day, also diagnoses and treats those with anxiety/panic, bipolar disorder, depression, impulsive behaviors, thought disturbances, and suicidal thoughts. When a person is experiencing a mental health problem, he or she can access help by receiving an evaluation by a dedicated behavioral health admissions team located within the Brandywine Hospital Emergency Department. Based on this assessment, the behavioral health team will assist the patient in accessing appropriate and necessary services.
Brandywine Behavioral Health strives to offer care in a clean and safe setting. Several safety protocols have been implemented in response to the coronavirus pandemic, including enhanced social distancing in patient care areas, rigorous cleaning and disinfecting procedures, COVID-19 screenings for caregivers and patients, and face mask requirements for patients and staff. One innovation is a special robot that delivers virus-killing ultraviolet energy, which is used in operating rooms, the Emergency Department, Behavioral Health Pavilion, and other patient areas.
Additionally, Brandywine Hospital now has an outpatient behavioral health provider on its campus. Human Services Inc., a private, nonprofit community mental health center, operates a satellite office in Brandywine Hospital's Huston Center.
