PMHC COVID-19 Announcement:
As the coronavirus/COVID-19 continues to spread all over the country, please be assured that the health and safety of PMHC employees and clients remains our top priority. Our executive management and operational leaders are monitoring the advice of the Center for Disease Control, World Health Organization and other health agencies in Bucks County and in Pennsylvania. We are working daily to develop, update and implement practices in the best interest of PMHC employees, families and clients.
December 21st: As part of our commitment to the
community, we have taken several steps to help keep our employees
and our clients safe and healthy. Currently, and until otherwise stated, several of our
services and programs will be operating in a limited and/or remote
capacity.
· Our 2005 Cabot
Boulevard offices are open, but most Cabot staff are working
remotely and are not in the building.
· Our 919 Durham
Road office is closed to clients. All Mental Health and Drug &
Alcohol Outpatient services, including IOP, are being provided at
our Main Center.
· Our Main Center
(at 1517 Durham Road) is open for selected services so as to
minimize the spread of illness. Saturday office hours have been
temporarily suspended. Currently, we are open from
8am to 5pm only. Our Outpatient nurse is available on Monday and
Tuesday 8am-3pm, Wednesday 8am-Noon and Friday 8am-2pm only.
· We are open to intake on-site on a
limited basis (open access/walk-in) for individuals looking to
initiate services. Because of the increases of COVID-19 in
Bucks County, we encourage all those seeking services to leave their
name and phone number in the Intake voicemail box at extension #1741
(215-752-1541). A PMHC staff member responds to all
callers to assess their needs and make appropriate referrals. The
entire intake process, included the clinical assessment can be
provided remotely, and we are able to offer limited on-site
assessment services. For hospital discharge paperwork or questions,
please utilize the
hospitaldischarge@penndelmhc.org email.
· PMHC continues to provide most
outpatient treatment thought telehealth. We encourage all
non-essential face-to-face treatment be provided by telephone or
through a telehealth platform; this includes individual therapy and
medication appointments. We have a limited number of therapists
on-site at Main Center; their appointments are reserved for those
clients who cannot engage in treatment from home. For other clients
who do not have access to the necessary technology to participate in
telehealth services or for whom privacy is an issue, we offer access
to telehealth on-site for a limited number of clients, who will be
able to use a room and computer to engage with a therapist who is
not on-site. Clients who would like to be considered for either of
these options should contact their therapist or leave a message with
their therapist or on our general mailbox.
· The PMHC Acute Partial Hospital
program operating on a limited basis but is running as a full day
program, operating from 9am – 3pm, with a limited census. We welcome new referrals for the APH
program, though census will be limited so as to meet social
distancing standards.
· The Clozaril Clinic is open and
medication injections in our Outpatient Program will continue to be
administered as scheduled.
· Our Assertive
Community Treatment Team and our Forensic (FSP) Community Treatment
Team continue to operate in the community.
Treatment may be adjusted to minimize the spread of illness
and to adhere to social distancing.
· The following
outreach services continue to operate, though most services will
take place remotely, by phone or telehealth platform. Services may
be adjusted to minimize the spread of illness and to adhere to
social distancing. All programs listed below are accepting
referrals for new clients/families.
o Blended Case Management,
Administrative Case Management and PATH Homeless Services
o Intensive Behavioral Health Services
(IBHS) and Family Based Services

· Our Cares
Cupboard Food Pantry is open to all PMHC clients and families.
Based on the
guidance we’ve received and our general state of preparedness, we
continue to operate our programs, as listed above. However, since
this continues to be a rapidly-evolving situation, PMHC will
determine if the changes to services listed above will be modified.
Please continue to check back for updates.
