Partial Hospital Program For Medical Psychiatric Patients
Our partial hospital program, which opened in 1998, is the only day treatment program in New England for children with combined medical and psychiatric illness. This includes but is not limited to children and adolescents with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, eating disorders, and somatic symptoms disorders such as functional neurological disorder (FND) and pediatric chronic pain conditions. The program is available as a step down from inpatient care or as a step up from outpatient care. It offers a safe, nurturing environment that allows children and families to participate in activities and therapy in a climate of healing five days per week—while also providing access to the same range of services as those available to patients admitted to our inpatient unit, including consultation with specialists and comprehensive diagnostic testing.
The program is located in the Potter Building on the Hasbro Children’s/Rhode Island Hospital campus. Children spend an average of six to eight weeks in the program, participating Monday through Friday from about 7:45 a.m. until sometime between 3 and 4 p.m. daily, depending on each child’s schedule and needs. Breakfast, lunch and snacks are served. Children receive daily pediatric and psychiatric assessment and treatment.
