♪ The Thrive Center at Baptist Health Richmond is an 11-bed inpatient psychiatric unit for adults who have mental health disorders including severe depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, self-harming behaviors, and suicidal thoughts. When a patient is admitted to the Thrive Center, they can expect to meet with our psychiatrist for medication management. They will have individual therapy, group therapy, family sessions. We have a recreational therapist who will do recreational activities.

We also do individualized care planning and aftercare planning. And we also have access to case managers and peer support services. The goals of the treatment team are to help each patient achieve their individual goals and provide symptom relief and help teach them the skills to thrive in the community. Before we had the Thrive Center, patients would come through the ER, they would meet with the therapist, and then they would have to decide which level of care they needed.

If they needed inpatient treatment at that time, then we would have to transport individuals outside of their community. And now that we have the Thrive Center, patients are able to be admitted to our hospital here at Baptist Health and stay within their community. I love being able to meet a patient where they are and provide compassionate care for them and help them along their journey to wellness at the Thrive Center.
