Registered Nurse
Your Opportunity:
Day Hospital is a short-term intensive clinical program that provides assessment, intervention, crisis management, and stabilization for clients 17 and up who are experiencing an acute mental health and/or addiction presentation that require intensive services to prevent a formal inpatient admission. Like an inpatient unit but with no beds, clients attend programming during the day and return home or to their community setting each evening.
