As the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health for Penn State College of Medicine and the Penn State Health Milton S.

We achieve excellence through the integration of education, research, patient care, and service to the community. We use the resources of Penn State University as an R1 land grant university, and strengths in neurosciences, methodology, and social and biological sciences, to discover new ways to improve the lives of people with mental and behavioral illness.

We host specialty clinical and research programs, including research that crosses the translational spectrum. Our educational programs include psychiatry residency, psychiatry child and adolescent fellowship, psychology internship, psychology externship, and psychology post-doctoral fellows. We have a strong collaboration with basic and clinical science in other neuroscience and public health disciplines across several Penn State campuses.

With our clinical partner, the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute (PPI), located in downtown Harrisburg, PA, we have a full spectrum of care including 89 inpatient beds, partial hospital programs, neuromodulation services, an Advancement in Recovery addiction treatment program, and general and specialty outpatient programs for children and adults. Services through Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center include programs in general and specialty adult and child psychiatry and psychology, adult partial hospital, sleep medicine and behavioral sleep medicine, eating disorders, psychiatry and addiction consultation/ liaison, and integrated care with primary care and medical/surgical specialties.

To better serve the needs of our regional community, we completed a programmatic expansion of our child mental and behavioral health services including opening an inpatient child unit, expanding child therapy services and doubling the size of consultation and liaison teams.
