Express Care Wait Times 
Life with an emotional, mental, or behavioral disorder can feel like a roller coaster. You may have good days and bad days, and it can feel like a real challenge sometimes to control your thoughts or emotions.
The Stormont Vail Behavioral Health Center is staffed by highly trained and compassionate professionals to help patients and their families. Our care approach includes:
- Psychological and psychiatric evaluations
- Medication treatment
- Individual, family and group therapy
- Hospitalization, if needed
If you are using a Cotton O’Neil primary care provider (PCP), he or she will receive real-time updates on your diagnosis and treatment through your electronic medical record. PCPs outside Stormont Vail also will receive updates on your condition and treatment.
We also encourage you to keep in touch with your physician while receiving behavioral health care. Providing updates about your condition, and continuing to go in for physicals and other routine care, can help you stay healthy in the long run.
