Our admissions department is always available, 24 hours a day, throughout the year. A full-time nurse is on duty for each admission shift. An initial evaluation by a Pavilion physician will review medical, emotional, behavioral, social, and nutritional needs. The patient’s psychiatric history, including previous treatment and physical and health screenings, is evaluated as part of the review.
