We are a tight-knit community of healers who witness the impact of our life-changing work each day.

Each day, we are closing the gaps in access to care. We are innovating through leading-edge research, testing, programs, and treatment modalities that others replicate across the country. Our services include a state-of-the-art psychiatric urgent care center and a soon-to-be-built pediatric behavioral health center, outpatient, inpatient, partial hospitalization (day programs), assessment and testing, residential, addiction treatment and specialty services such as crisis response, employee assistance programs, forensic psychiatry and psychology, and neuromodulation. On-the-job educational programs for nurses, psychologists, advanced practice providers, psychiatrists, and chaplains are equipping the next generation of care providers.

We are passionate about serving and are honored to be a part of this incredible work.

Pine Rest is opening a new unit!

We are excited to launch a specialized 4-bed pilot program within our Child and Adolescent Unit, designed to provide high-quality inpatient care for children with neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and intellectual disability. This innovative program uses a data-driven, behavior-analytic approach to reduce challenging behaviors and address co-occurring psychiatric conditions. Our multidisciplinary team will deliver individualized, intensive treatment focused on skill-building, community reintegration, and caregiver training. This pilot will help shape the development of a 10-bed inpatient unit within the future Pine Rest Pediatric Center of Behavioral Health dedicated to advancing care for this population. Join our dedicated team and be part of something truly impactful at Pine Rest!
