Mount Rogers Community Services 21-22 Annual Report

Building

Mount Rogers Community Services continued to be innovative this year, opening several new programs including Virginia’s first Crisis Receiving Center (pictured above left) and Geriatric Transition Home (pictured above right). The Smyth Crisis Receiving Center is an evolution of Mount Rogers’ existing Crisis Care Center. In addition to the walk-in, voluntary Crisis Care Center, law enforcement can now transfer custody of individuals under an Emergency Custody Order (ECO) to the Receiving Center. These individuals will receive high quality behavioral health services in a comfortable, calm environment. Additionally, this transfer of custody allows law enforcement to get back on the roads, as well as clearing beds in local emergency departments. It adds up to better quality of care, and less strain on community resources. The Crisis Receiving Center is located in Marion, Virginia and operates 24/7/365. The Crisis Receiving Center can operate around the clock and treat medically complex individuals due to behavioral health staff, medical staff, peer supports, and 24/7 pharmacy access. In addition to the Crisis Receiving Center, Mount Rogers continues to operate Crisis Care Centers in Wytheville, Virginia and Galax, Virginia.
