Referrals

Patient referrals are welcomed from clinicians throughout Virginia and the Middle Atlantic region. Whenever feasible, patients are discharged back to their homes for follow-up treatment by their referring clinician. 

• The Department of Psychiatry operates an Intake and Referral Service to expeditiously screen, evaluate and admit clinically appropriate patients to the various inpatient teams.
• An Intake and Referral clinician works directly with the referral source to arrange a prompt admission, or assist with identifying other resources available to treat the patient.

Please call (804) 828-2000 or (800) 232-0901.
