UKHC EmPATH
UK HealthCare EmPATH – the first program of its kind in Kentucky – is specially equipped to quickly treat adult patients undergoing mental illness and substance use crises.
EmPATH, which stands for Emergency Psychiatric Assessment, Treatment and Healing, is an evidence-based model of crisis care that provides trauma-informed, compassionate treatment. It is an alternative to traditional emergency departments, whose long wait times and sometimes overwhelming environment can worsen mental distress.
