Western Psychiatric is one of the nation’s foremost academic-based psychiatric care centers. We house the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

The psychiatric consult and liaison team serves many other UPMC hospitals.

We also manage mental health and addiction care at Beaver Medical Center and work with many providers, schools, and nursing homes.
