Sharon Regional's outpatient behavioral clinic reopens
SHARON, Pa. (WKBN) — Sharon Regional Medical Center has started its first phase of reopening.
Tenor Health Foundation, the hospital's new owner, announced in a press release on Friday that the outpatient behavioral services clinic opened on Tuesday.
'Sharon Regional has a long and successful history of providing high-quality behavioral health care in Mercer County and throughout Western Pennsylvania,' T.J. Hudock, Senior Director of Behavioral Health Services, said in the release.
The reopening of the Intensive Behavioral Health Services and Partial Hospitalization programs will allow 75 children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other mental health conditions to immediately resume treatment, marking the first phase of reopening.
A digital director has also been hired for the hospital's imaging department.
'This equipment will be able to answer critical diagnostic questions for our Emergency and Intensivist physicians within 6 seconds of image acquisition at the patient bedside, promoting the quickest response to our patients' needs,' Radiology Director Jessica Schultz said.
The foundation said once it completes the necessary licensing requirements, Sharon Regional Medical Center will resume its full spectrum of behavioral health services, including inpatient psychiatric care for children and adults, at its main hospital campus in Sharon.
'We are working closely with the Pennsylvania Department of Health to restore all hospital services and programs,' Radha Savitala, Founder of Tenor Health Foundation said. 'This includes ensuring the availability of essential medical services such as emergency care, inpatient admissions, specialist consultations, anesthesiology, laboratory services, radiology, and the necessary pharmaceuticals and patient care supplies.'
The clinic is located at 2375 Garden Way in Hermitage. For more information and updates, contact Sharon Regional Medical Center's behavioral health information line at (724) 983-3911.
