Chief Nursing Officer Opportunity - Behavioral Health

Coastal Harbor Health System offers compassionate care when you or your loved ones need it most. Our two facilities, Coastal Behavioral Health and Coastal Harbor Treatment Center, are conveniently located in Savannah, Georgia, but we accept patients from many states across the country.

Coastal Behavioral Health serves men and women, ages 18 and up, with high quality, affordable mental health services. Our team of psychiatric nurses, certified addiction counselors, discharge planners, recreational therapists and psychiatrists specializing in adult psychiatry and addiction medicine are here to help, and we offer both outpatient and acute inpatient programs to address the varying treatment needs. Our 50-bed acute inpatient hospital is designed to help those in crisis who may need a secure environment in which to begin their recovery.

Coastal Harbor Treatment Center is a 114-bed youth treatment facility serving children and adolescents, ages 4 to 17, with short-term or long-term inpatient care to cope with crisis situations or ongoing behavioral, mental or emotional difficulties. For some, growing up can be a challenge, and when it becomes unmanageable, the experts at Coastal Harbor Treatment Center are here to help. We also provide therapeutic foster care placement for children in need of short-term care from a loving family.
