UPMC Altoona's Mobile Crisis Team travels throughout Blair County to deliver critical mental health care, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. With behavioral health care identified as one of the most significant community health needs both across the UPMC system and in Blair County, the Mobile Crisis Team is helping individuals and families connect with the care they require. Counselors respond to crises in the community, such as police calls, death, and suicides, and meet with family members and patients to offer support, provide access to resources, and perform mobile crisis assessments. They also work directly with individuals to do personal assessments, customize treatment plans, and bridge the gaps between the patient and high quality, timely care options.
