HEALTHCARE IS ONE OF TODAY’S MOST DYNAMIC & GROWING FIELDS.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK INSIDE THIS VITAL INDUSTRY
ONE OUT OF EVERY FOUR PEOPLE WILL, AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIFE, EXPERIENCE DIAGNOSABLE SYMPTOMS OF MENTAL ILLNESS.
IN NEARLY 70% OF CASES, THE ONSET OF MENTAL ILLNESS HAPPENS BEFORE AGE 14.
EARLY IDENTIFICATION, INTERVENTION, & ACCESS TO CARE ARE CRITICAL TO HELPING THOSE IN NEED.
THE U.S., HOWEVER, FACES A SIGNIFICANT SHORTAGE OF BOARD CERTIFIED CHILD PSYCHIATRISTS.
THERE ARE NEARLY 7000 IN THE US, & NOT ALL OF THEM ARE ACTIVELY PRACTICING.
IT'S ESTIMATED THAT UPWARDS OF 30,000 BOARD CERTIFIED PSYCHIATRISTS ARE CALLED FOR TO ONLY BEGIN TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR NATION'S YOUTH POPULATION.
THIS SHORTAGE IS AMPLIFIED BY THE FACT THAT MANY HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS HAVE REDUCED OR ELIMINATED CERTAIN PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES.
FAMILIES ARE LEFT WAITING FOR HELP, ENABLING CONDITIONS TO SPIRAL INTO UNNECESSARY CRISIS.
FOUNDED IN 2009 BY CHILD PSYCHIATRIST & RESEARCHER, DR. STEPHEN SETTERBERG,
PRAIRIECARE & PRAIRIECARE MEDICAL GROUP PROVIDE SPECIALIZED PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES TO CHILDREN, TEENS, & ADULTS IN THE TWIN CITIES REGION.
PrairieCare's vision as an organization is really to transform psychiatric healthcare in 2 main ways. First to simply to increase access to psychiatric care. We expect access to all areas of medicine but it's often not there in psychiatry & that’s the focus of our expansion. Secondly in terms of standards of excellence again bringing psychiatry to that level of scientific precision & evidence based work that we get in all medicine.
EXPERTS SAY MOST PSYCHIATRIC CONDITIONS ARE HIGHLY TREATABLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IDENTIFIED EARLY.
So just like with physical illness, mental illness presents along an entire continuum from quite severe requiring aggressive intervention to less severe that would respond quite well to routine outpatient care. As we know early intervention can prevent mental illness from progressing to more severe states.
PRAIRIECARE IS MINNESOTA’S ONLY PRIVATELY-RUN PSYCHIATRIC HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, & ONE OF JUST A FEW IN THE NATION.
IT HAS GROWN BY NEARLY 35% EACH YEAR SINCE 2010 &, TODAY, EMPLOYS AN EXPANSIVE STAFF OF HIGHLY-SKILLED CLINICIANS.
There's a stigma surrounding mental illnesses that creates barriers for people to receive treatment. Whether it's even talking about it or seeking services. PraireCare is trying to reshape the way services are delivered & increase access to care so there is no longer an issue. Treatment environment is very warm & friendly & really conducive to receiving care which optimizes patients experience & outcomes.
PRAIRIECARE PROVIDES SPECIALIZED PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES FOR ALL AGES THROUGHOUT A CONTINUUM-OF-CARE.
PRAIRIECARE'S YOUTH SERVICES SPAN OUTPATIENT, PARTIAL HOSPITAL, & INPATIENT HOSPITAL PROGRAMS.
THE ORGANIZATION IS ALSO PIONEERING THE MOVEMENT TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN TRADITIONAL PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES & MEDICAL SERVICES, BY INTEGRATING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DIRECTLY INT
