THE HEALING PLACE
TAKING CARE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IS A BRAVE AND WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT IN YOURSELF
Polara Health has recently launched a cutting-edge community behavioral health hospital, named The Healing Place, which commenced its operations on April 24th. The facility, situated at 181 Whipple Street in Prescott AZ, provides a comprehensive array of mental health services for individuals with acute and chronic psychiatric issues who require inpatient care. These services were previously offered at Polara Health's Windhaven Psychiatric Hospital in Prescott Valley, but have now been relocated to the new location.
The facility is equipped with the latest technology and staffed by a team of experienced mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, nurses and behavioral health providers. The Healing Place is designed to provide a safe, supportive and therapeutic environment for clients, with comfortable accommodations and amenities that promote healing and recovery.
“We are excited to open our doors in our new space and serve the mental health needs of our community,” said Erin Kantor, Chief Clinical Officer for Polara Health.
The Healing Place provides comprehensive inpatient treatment services including psychiatric evaluation, medication management, group psychotherapy, recreational therapy, and education on coping skills and stress management. Our goal is to provide the highest quality mental health care possible, with a focus on patient-centered, whole person care. “We believe that every patient has the potential for healing and recovery and we are committed to helping achieve their goals. Being in an environment that supports healing and recovery is key. We are delighted that our new hospital provides such an environment, “, said Tamara Player, President and CEO.
With mental health, the important thing is to get the person in contact with help at the moment they make the decision of accepting it. Timing, and access is a priority for Polara Health and their clients
Polara Health, with 12 locations in Yavapai County, offers programs beginning from birth through seniors with over 225 new clients on a monthly basis. A Center for Excellence Award was recently given to Polara Health for its Birth to Five program and Transitioned Aged Youth program through HealthChoice BCBSAZ.
“There is still a stigma attached to reaching out for help, yet there was a recent study by the World Health Organization which showed 67% of the U.S. population does not operate at optimal mental capacity and so, at some point, a large part of our community could benefit from some sort of mental health assistance,” Tamara added. “Polara is here to make that assistance not only accessible, but also non-judgmental. It’s as simple as calling us, and we can put you in touch with someone to guide you to the right resources.”
