Wednesday, April 22nd, 2015 -- 8:19 AM
-Marshfield Clinic this week informed Wood County officials that due to a significant shortage of mental health providers, it regrettably will no longer staff Norwood Health Center for mental health services beginning later this year.Marshfield Clinic, which has one of the only mental health programs in the region, remains committed to providing mental health services to communities it serves. Clinic behavioral health experts have designed a team approach to mental health treatment allowing its providers to serve more patients each day.
This approach includes using nurse care coordinators, counselors, psychologists and other mental health experts to help the Clinic's four Marshfield-based psychiatrists reach more patients. The Clinic also has devised a system to quickly fill missed appointments with patients who may be on a waiting list.
Last year, Marshfield Center behavioral health providers had nearly 29,000 patient encounters and saw 7,181 unique patients.
