Behavioral Health
For millions of Americans over 65, mental illness interferes with their ability to lead normal, productive lives and inhibits their ability to function. Some of the most common factors in mental illness in the elderly are depression, paranoia and dementia (including Alzheimer’s disease). These are devastating illnesses that greatly affect their physical and emotional well being.
The Behavioral Health Services program at Wise Regional Health System understands the difficulties patients with behavioral disorders face and is committed to helping patients return to the highest quality of life possible, increasing their ability to function independently.

Transportation is often an issue for the elderly seeking treatment and is often the only reason they don’t get the help they need.
