For individuals who are seeking treatment through our emergency department, we offer immediate behavioral health services in our Grossmont Psychiatric Assessment Treatment and Healing (G-PATH) unit.
Operated by our behavioral health team, this unit provides hospital-based emergency and observation services, available 24 hours a day, to patients 14 years and older with a mental health condition.
During their stay, patients are under the compassionate care of an ED physician, who consults with an on-call psychiatrist about next steps. The unit is also staffed with psychiatric nurse practitioners to provide treatment and medications.
