Mount Vernon Hospital

The Family Health and Wellness Center, with 25 specialized ambulatory care clinics, provides both primary and specialty visits.  The Mount Vernon Hospital also offers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient behavioral health programs and has recently initiated the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program established to deliver comprehensive psychiatric services to individuals whose needs have not been met through traditional approaches.

The Mount Vernon's Chronic Wound Treatment and Hyperbaric Medicine Center is the largest service of its type in the northeast. The Center offers patients the most comprehensive and advanced wound management treatments available.  In 1998, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy was added to the program to help reduce the need for limb amputation.  Today the Center attracts chronic wound patients from all over the country as well as individuals at risk for amputation due to traumatic injury.
