Behavioral Health Emergency Care

Our full-service, nationally accredited hospital offers a fully staffed Emergency Department open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The department includes two specially designed behavioral treatment rooms, providing a safe and caring space for the provider team to evaluate and treat behavioral health patients.

Emergency Department Behavioral Health Observation Unit

In 2015, Mid Coast Hospital developed the Emergency Department Behavioral Health Observation Unit to better accommodate the behavioral health patients who experience long lengths of stay in the Emergency Department. The unit has three private rooms and a common area with a kitchenette, comfortable seating, and natural lighting. Patients are given a menu of calming and therapeutic amenities such as music, art supplies, and spiritual care, to make their stay as comfortable as possible. The secure unit is staffed with behavioral health specialists who provide psychiatric consultation, compassionate care, and long-term planning support.
