The future Child and Adolescent Mental Health Pavilion will be connected to Cohen Children’s Medical Center and Zucker Hillside Hospital , Northwell’s adult mental health facility, in Queens, NY.
Key Points:
- The future Child and Adolescent Mental Health Pavilion will be connected to Cohen Children’s Medical Center and Zucker Hillside Hospital , Northwell’s adult mental health facility, in Queens, NY.
- The approximately 200,000-square-foot building will fully integrate physical and mental health care for children and serve as a destination program for patients across the country.
- The initiative will bring together Northwell’s extensive expertise in children’s clinical care, mental health, leading-edge research, education and medical training to set a new standard for care.
- This investment will break the archaic siloed approach in which physical health is addressed at one facility and mental health at another by fully integrating physical and mental health care for children.”
Through Cohen Children’s Medical Center, Northwell currently operates pediatric behavioral health urgent care centers in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
