Behavioral Health

FLORIDA HOSPITALS PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR BEHAVIORAL PATIENTS AS NEEDS CONTINUE TO GROW

A combination of factors creates challenges for many Floridians to access affordable, appropriate, and timely behavioral health care. Too many adults and children in Florida with behavioral health needs have to rely on clinically inappropriate care settings, such as hospital emergency departments, to receive needed behavioral health treatment. COVID-19 has created new challenges for the behavioral health care system as more people experience symptoms of mental illness and substance use disorder.

​Florida’s hospitals across the state are committed to working with community groups, state agencies, advocates and consumer groups, and health care providers to implement and sustain systems of care that more timely meet the behavioral health needs of Florida residents.
