Memorial Health Opens New Intensive Outpatient Behavioral Health Program

Savannah, Georgia-based Memorial Health launched a new program to better serve consumers seeking treatment for mental health problems. The new Intensive Outpatient Behavioral Health Program launched in January 2020. According to Stephen Yost, M.D., medical director for Memorial Health Behavioral Health Services, psychiatric treatment programs are lacking in the Savannah area. As a result, the goal of the program is to provide consumers with access to mental health care in an increasingly underserved area.

The new program offers comprehensive psychiatric care for three hours, four days a week while allowing consumers to live their life outside of care . . .
