Welcome to the Acute Adult Unit at Virginia Baptist Hospital
We understand that patients often seek our care under difficult circumstances. Thus we strive to provide a peaceful and nurturing setting.
Each patient will work with a multidisciplinary team led by a psychiatrist in collaboration with physician assistants, nurses, occupational therapists, counselors and social workers. After a comprehensive assessment of the patient, this team develops an individualized treatment plan.
We are dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-centered and evidence-based treatment in a safe and healing environment – delivered with compassion and respect for the individual.
Communication on the floor is important for patient safety. Jake Cash, RN, the unit manager, makes sure staff is updated.
Group therapy can be an important part of treatment for many patients.
Our therapists facilitate the group discussions.
The Acute Adult Unit is located in Virginia Baptist Hospital. "The Baptist", founded in 1924, serves Central Virginia with quality health care for the whole family
