The unit provides 3 levels of care including lower acuity, medium acuity, and high acuity, with each supporting a collaborative, integrated suite of programs to ensure the best possible outcomes for mental health patients and their families.
Services are delivered by psychiatric consultants, registrars, medical officers, nursing staff, and allied health staff including psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers, and diversional therapists.
