Medical Center unveils new Adolescent Behavioral Health Unit

Local dignitaries participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the unveiling of the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center’s (ARMC) new Adolescent Behavioral Health Unit on August 7.

Attendees had an opportunity to tour the new unit, which includes the first adolescent behavioral health emergency room in California. It offers separate care for adolescent patients, which is critical to providing a safe and supportive environment tailored to the developmental and emotional needs of young people.

The facility also offers a variety of inpatient therapy groups to promote a comprehensive approach to healing for adolescents in need.

Establishing this new unit represents a significant investment in San Bernardino County’s mental health infrastructure and underscores ARMC’s commitment to improving access to care for adolescents.

The project is a collaborative effort between ARMC, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, County Administrative Office, Project and Facilities Management, Hallsta Inc. and others. Together, these organizations have created a state-of-the-art inpatient behavioral health facility that offers a beacon of hope for families in San Bernardino County.
