POSITION SUMMARY
The Behavioral Health Unit at Asante Rogue Regional Medical
Center is the only inpatient facility of its kind serving a
nine-county region in Southern Oregon and Northern California and
advances Asante?s vision to significantly improve the patient
experience for people facing a mental health crisis. That
vision included adopting a trauma-informed approach to mental
health care called The Sanctuary Model, as well as creating a
resiliency support program called Team CARE Response for employees.
The unit was recently expanded to accommodate more inpatients and
offers 24 rooms, each with a garden view.
In addition, renovations were made to the Psychiatric Care
Unit housed in the Emergency Department that offers additional
psychiatric beds. The average patient census is 18 and nurse
to patient ratios are 6:1. The average patient stay is 9
days. All Behavioral Health RN's also float to the ED to care
for the psychiatric patients being treated in the Emergency
Department.
