Great River Health's Fort Madison and West Burlington campuses provide inpatient care for Adult Behavioral Health patients. Fort Madison is a 12-bed unit; West Burlington is an 8-bed unit. Our units are open to patients 18 and older.
Our number one priority here is the stabilization of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors for adults. That’s why our dedicated team of psychiatric healthcare professionals works together to renew social, physical, and mental well-being.
Patients must present to their nearest Emergency Department for a comprehensive evaluation by our Behavioral Health Assessment Team who will identify and treat medical conditions that may be contributing to psychiatric symptoms. If the patient is found to be medically stable and appropriate for admission to the unit, they will be placed in the appropriate facility for the level of care needed.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, please go to your local emergency department or call 911.
