Hospital System Hosts Open House Premiering New Inpatient Adult Mental Health Unit

Streamwood, IL – On Monday, March 7th, Streamwood Behavioral Healthcare System (SBHS) will hold an open house from 2:30 to 4:30 pm premiering the expansion of their services to address the need for inpatient adult psychiatric care in the community. Following the open house, from 4:30-6:30 pm, a training presentation on “Cognitive Behavioral Therapies for Treatment of Adult Depression” will be available for continuing education credit.

The entire day’s events are free, open to the public and include heavy appetizers and refreshments.

Expanding their inpatient behavioral health services to care for adults came out of a need in the community. With many organizations feeling the pressure of the Illinois budget impasse, they are left to serve communities with limited resources.

“We are fortunate to have the opportunity to expand our inpatient services to adults who need them and may not be able to access care elsewhere,” said SBHS CEO, Ron Weglarz. “In a way, it makes sense for us to care for all ages in one central location. Now, our community will know exactly where to go for inpatient behavioral health care, regardless of age,” he concluded.
