Reopening of Acute Psychiatric Unit at Spokane VA
Spokane’s Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center has reopened its Acute Psychiatric Unit (APU), after a multi-year renovation to the inpatient unit.
At Spokane VA, Veterans can receive personalized mental health care and treatment to help them on their road to recovery. If inpatient care is needed, the Behavioral Health team at Mann-Grandstaff VAMC will complete a full assessment and through a shared-decision making process, determine the best path forward with the Veteran and their family.
Mann-Grandstaff VAMC leadership recognized VA’s regional and local leaders for supporting the APU’s remodel. The project added additional safety and comfort features for the patients, as well as electronic and other capital upgrades for clinicians and APU staff. A private re-opening celebration also allowed VA’s local and regional leaders, including Dr. Robert J. Fischer, Medical Center Director to personally thank VA Community Partners, including Inland Northwest Behavioral Health and Frontier Behavioral Health officials for their support of VA and our Veteran patients while the APU was under construction.
