They work with area hospitals, including Parkview Behavioral Health, to provide optimal care for patients in the Fort Wayne area. They also have an on-site outpatient psychiatric specialty pharmacy that consumers can use to manage their medications in one place. They are currently in process of designing and beginning a new acute crisis center, something that this city is lacking and in desperate need of. Park Center also has a variety of professional training workshops offered to area healthcare professionals to keep practitioners up-to-date on the latest evidence-based techniques in the psychiatric field.
I am very excited for the opportunity to work with this organization this semester and help build and contribute to a better source for mental health services in our community.
