The Behavioral Health Center at Westchester Medical Center has been a leading provider of comprehensive behavioral health services since 1929. Located in a freestanding facility on the campus of Westchester Medical Center, the Behavioral Health Center offers a full spectrum of inpatient, outpatient, community and emergency care for individuals and families. World-renowned medical services provided by Westchester Medical Center, combined with strong clinical leadership from the Department of Psychiatry at New York Medical College, keep the Behavioral Health Center at the forefront of meeting the needs of those affected by mental illness.
The Behavioral Health Center provides consultation-liasion services for patients of all ages who are admitted to Westchester Medical Center and its Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. The consultations are also available to families struggling to cope with the serious illness of a loved one.
