The Hope Hub
The Hope Hub offers individuals and families a calm, welcoming space where they can receive confidential support during a behavioral health crisis which does not require treatment in the Emergency Department. Located in a separate building on the hospital’s campus, it is designed to look like a living room rather than a hospital setting. Our goal is to meet individuals and families where they are, reducing fear and helping them move forward with clarity, support and a pathway to recovery. We will provide connections to community resources for ongoing support.
