Centers for Mental Wellness
Continuing the Circle of Care
Patients can visit our Centers for Medical Wellness to continue their healing outside of a hospital setting.

Our outpatient services can address:
- Anxiety

The Behavioral Health Services team of clinical professionals also offers Ketamine therapy for individuals who are suffering from depression and meet special criteria for quick relief of their symptoms. Ketamine infusion, administered under the direction and supervision of an anesthesiologist at St. Catherine Hospital, has the ability to work right away. Most antidepressants can take weeks, even months, to provide relief from depression.
Feeling better, faster, and getting the mood to improve faster is an important first step to ward off depression.
Research has shown that a series of six infusions, given every other day over a 12 to 14 day period can produce optimal outcomes. Ketamine infusion can decrease the symptoms of depression in about 60 to 70 percent of all patients who receive it. While Ketamine therapy is proving to be very promising, it isn't for everyone.
