Geisinger Expands Mental Health Services with New Danville Center

Danville, PA – Geisinger Health System is significantly expanding access to mental healthcare services with the grand opening of its new Behavioral Health Center in Danville. Located at 206 Maria Hall Drive, the state-of-the-art facility officially opened its doors on Tuesday and is now accepting patients.

This represents a major investment in the community, with a total cost of $65 million. The 96-bed center is designed to provide comprehensive care for adults facing a range of mental health challenges. It addresses a critical need in the region, where access to timely and effective mental health treatment has been limited.

What Services Will the Center Offer?

The Geisinger Behavioral Health Center Danville will offer a diverse array of services, including:

• Acute Psychiatric Care: For individuals experiencing acute mental health crises requiring stabilization and intensive treatment.
• Residential Treatment Programs: Structured programs designed to help patients develop coping skills and strategies for long-term recovery.
• Medication Management: Expert assessment and management of psychiatric medications.
• Individual and Group Therapy: A variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to meet individual patient needs.
• Specialized Programs: Geisinger plans to introduce specialized programs addressing specific mental health conditions in the future, further expanding the scope of care offered.

Addressing a Growing Need

The opening of this center comes at a crucial time. Mental health challenges are on the rise across Canada and the United States, exacerbated by factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainty, and social isolation. Geisinger recognizes the importance of providing accessible and high-quality mental healthcare to meet this growing demand.

“We are committed to improving the health and well-being of the communities we serve,” said a Geisinger spokesperson. “The Behavioral Health Center in Danville is a testament to that commitment. We believe this facility will make a significant difference in the lives of individuals and families struggling with mental health issues.”
