Newport Hospital Announces Adult Partial Hospitalization Program

Posted Friday, May 04, 2012

Newport Hospital is now offering a new behavioral health outpatient program, the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program, for adults who need structured support to handle their life circumstances but do not need hospitalization.

Following a medical and psychological assessment, each patient has a structured treatment environment on the Newport Hospital campus during the day but returns to his or her home at night and on weekends. Each patient has an individualized treatment plan, from three days to two weeks in duration, depending on that patient’s needs.

Led by a psychologist, a psychiatrist and a social worker, the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program is covered by most health insurance plans. For more information, call 845-1910.

Newport Hospital was founded in 1873 and is Newport County’s only acute care hospital. Located on Powel Avenue in Newport, it is a community hospital with a broad spectrum of health services, including an emergency department, an award-winning birthing center, a behavioral health unit, surgical services, a renowned rehabilitation division, and a full array of outpatient services. Since 2004, Newport Hospital has been designated a Magnet hospital for excellence in nursing care. The hospital became a partner in the Lifespan health system in 1997.
